Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A temperature sensor shows excellent sensitivity but has a drift rate that increases its output by 2% after every tests in the same environment. Discuss how this affects the sensor's usability for long-term climate monitoring.

💡 Hint: Consider the consequences of gradual inaccuracies over time.

Challenge 2 Hard

You are tasked with designing an automated irrigation system using various sensors. Discuss the implications of choosing sensors with varying levels of precision and linearity in relation to the system's overall reliability.

💡 Hint: Think about how precise measurements directly impact system functionality.
