  1. The deflection profile y (x) of a cantilever beam due to application of a point force F (in Newton), as a function of distance x from its base, is given by y(x) = 0.001F x2(1 - x/3)m. The angular deformation θ at the end of the cantilever is measured by reflecting a laser beam off a mirror M as shown in the figure.

    If linear variable differential transformers (LVDTs) are mounted at x = 1/2 m and x = 1/4 m on the cantilever to measure the effect of time varying forces, the ratio of their outputs is
