Lab 5, units

[UnicornsDoExist]

Are the displacement values taken during the lab in mm, cm or m?

The data we have is in volts, but what's the conversion? Is it 1V=1m, or 1 V= 1 cm?

You don't need to convert displacement from voltage to mm. When building your models, use voltages to represent your displacement all the time.

so, although calculations should normally be in SI units, I use voltage for displacement values such as X1? So if I got 2V, then X1 is just equal to 2? Just want to make sure.

Yes.
