Question 5 [50 marks]
a)
A generator at a regional Power Station produces an alternating voltage, according to
the function, V below:
V = 120 sin (2t),
where V is the voltage in volts, and t is in seconds.
i)
Plot the voltage as a function of time t for 0 ? t ? 2? seconds. Label the
axis and intercepts clearly for full marks.

An electrical engineer needs to determine when this generator will have a voltage
that is exactly +60 V.
ii)
How many times in the interval 0 ? t ? 2? will the voltage reach +60 V?
iii) Determine the exact times when this occurs for 0 ? t ? 2?.
