Answer

$V_{rms} = 70.7053V$

Work Step by Step

Start by identifying the Period, $T = 2*\pi /w$ so $T = \frac{2 \pi}{377} $ now setup the integral to calculate the root-mean-square rms = $\sqrt{\frac{377}{2\pi} \int ^{\frac{2\pi}{377}}_{0} (50 + 70.7*cos(377t))^2dt}$ Solve the integral by squaring the integrand and using a power reducing formula on the cosine squared term. rms = $\sqrt{ \frac{1}{2}(5000+4998.49)}$ rms = $70.70534V$
