5) (20 points) From a sketch of its Bode plot in Fig. (a), we see that at the notch frequency,
the transfer function gain is zero, while at frequencies above and below the gain is unity.

Let us design a notch filter to remove an annoying 60-Hz frequency from the output voltage of
a cassette tape player. An equivalent circuit for the block diagram including a Thévenin
equivalent for the tape deck and an equivalent resistance for the power amp is shown in Fig.
(b).

In this circuit, find the inductance value provided that the capacitance is 10 µF and fn=60 Hz
