2.2. Use a spreadsheet to show that the rms value of a sinusoidal waveform is the maximum value divided by $\sqrt{2}$. * Assume the maximum value is 100 and form a column of $100 \sin{\Theta}$ from 0 to 360. This is column A. * Form column B as (col A)$^2$. * Compute the mean of col B. * Compute the square root of this mean, and verify that it is $100/\sqrt{2} = 70.7$.

Step 1
In column A, enter values from 0 to 360 degrees. Convert these degrees to radians. Then calculate $100\sin(\theta)$ for each angle $\theta$ in radians. Show more…
