Question 2
2.1 Design a control in LabVIEW to find out voltage across resistor R2 from the
following circuit.

2.2 Converting C to F
Design a program on LabVIEW that convert temperature of the sensor measured in
degree Celsius (0C) to Fahrenheit (0F).
Enter temperature in Centigrade (from 0 0C, freezing point of water, to 100 0C,
boiling point of water) with a knob and use thermometer to display equivalent
temperature in Fahrenheit (Enter the temperature value from 0 0F to 200 0F).
Conversion formula is,

F = (1.8 * C) + 32
2.3 Create a VI that calculate the current flowing through each resistor for the circuit
below.
