A test is being run in a wind tunnel when a sensor on the trailing edge of a wing produces the response shown in Figure P5–62.

When the sensor output reached 1 V, the test was terminated.

You are asked to analyze the results. The oscillation could be tolerated if it never reaches 20 Vbecause the onboard computer can mitigate it. However, the response time for the computer to actuate the compensating aileron is 80 ms. Will the compensation occur in time?
