(b) A water control system uses a switch and two pressure sensors.

The outputs of the switch and sensors are shown in the table.

Sensor or Switch Output of 1 Output of 0

Switch
On Off
(S1)
Pressure Sensor
>= 3 <3
(P1)
Pressure Sensor
>= 3 <3
(P2)

Create a logic circuit that will produce an output (X) of 1 when:

The switch S1 is on

and

either P1 is less than 3 or P2 is less than 3, but not both.

All logic gates used must have a maximum of two inputs.

(b) An aeroplane has a warning system that monitors the height of the aeroplane above the
ground, whether the aeroplane is ascending or descending, and the speed of the aeroplane.

Input Binary value Condition

Height 1 Height is less than 500 metres

(H) 0 Height is greater than or equal to 500 metres
Ascending or 1 Aeroplane is ascending or in level flight
Descending
(A) 0 Aeroplane is descending

Speed 1 Speed is less than or equal to 470 knots

(S) 0 Speed is greater than 470 knots

The warning system will produce an output of 1 that will sound an alarm (W) when either of
these conditions apply:

Height is less than 500 metres and the aeroplane is descending

or

The aeroplane is descending and speed is greater than 470 knots

Draw a logic circuit to represent the warning system.
