Angel Proctor · Answer 1

An Analog computer.

Explanation:

Analog computer predates digital computers. They are computers that uses continuous measurable value to determine the result of an input. Unlike digital computer (which represents data in 1s and 0s, ON or OFF, high or low), they represent data with an oscillation of sinusoidal wave, with amplitude, phase angle and a frequency.

Examples of analog computers are CRT oscilloscope, analog multimeter, analog ammeter etc.

Riley King · Answer 2

Analog computer.

Explanation:

Analog computers are computers that can operate on mathematical variables in the form of physical quantities that are measurable and continuously changing. Examples of such physical quantities are temperature, pressure, current, voltage.

Examples of analog computers are planimeter, electric integrator, operational amplifiers, oscilloscope, television, analog sound processor.
