[!TLDR]

Stage 1 gives Vo1=−7.5sin⁡100πtV_{o1}=-7.5\sin100\pi t; the integrator (1/RiC=1001/R_iC=100) turns this into Vo=−2.38cos⁡100πtV_o=-2.38\cos100\pi t volts - a cosine wave of peak 2.38 V2.38\,\text{V}.

This II PUC Electronics op-amp problem chains an inverting amplifier into an integrator. Key idea: an ideal integrator obeys Vo=−1RiC∫Vin dtV_o=-\frac{1}{R_iC}\int V_{in}\,dt, and ∫sin⁡ωt dt=−cos⁡ωtω\int\sin\omega t\,dt = -\frac{\cos\omega t}{\omega} - the minus sign is what makes an integrated sine come out as a cosine of opposite sign.

Stage 1 - Inverting amplifier:

Vo1=−RfRiVi=−3k2k(5sin⁡100πt)=−7.5sin⁡100πt.V_{o1} = -\frac{R_f}{R_i}V_i = -\frac{3\text{k}}{2\text{k}}(5\sin100\pi t) = -7.5\sin100\pi t.

Stage 2 - Integrator. Time constant RiC=100×103×0.1×10−6=0.01 sR_iC = 100\times10^3\times0.1\times10^{-6} = 0.01\,\text{s}, so 1/RiC=1001/R_iC = 100:

Vo=−1RiC∫Vo1 dt=−100∫(−7.5sin⁡100πt) dt=750∫sin⁡100πt dt.V_o = -\frac{1}{R_iC}\int V_{o1}\,dt = -100\int(-7.5\sin100\pi t)\,dt = 750\int\sin100\pi t\,dt.

Using ∫sin⁡100πt dt=−cos⁡100πt100π\int\sin100\pi t\,dt = -\dfrac{\cos100\pi t}{100\pi}: …
