Prepare graphs of the divider voltage versus transducer

Question

Develop signal conditioning for Problem 3 so the output voltage varies from 0 to 5 V as the resistance varies from 520 to 5200Ω, where 0 V corresponds to 520 Ω.

Problem
Prepare graphs of the divider voltage versus transducer resistance for given Problem. Does the voltage vary linearly with resistance? Does the voltage increase or decrease with resistance?

Problem
A sensor resistance varies from 520 to 5200 Ω. This is used for in the divider of Figure 4, along with

R₂ = 500 Ω and V_s = 10.0 V.

Find

(a) the range of the divider voltage, V_D, and

(b) the range of power dissipation by the sensor.
