Calculating the peak voltage of a zener diode output


I have a problem with this homework, I have to calculate the peak voltage of the output after stabilizing with a zener diode.


My Input Voltage is Vin = 5V + 0.7Vsin (2pif*t) with f=10kHz


My circuit is a simple regulator with no load resistor. The series resistance is 82 Ohms, Zener voltage is 3V, max. current through the diode is 33.3mA. How can I calculate the peak output ? My problem is the offset created by 5V, wouldnt the Zener voltage be reached immidiately with this configuration ?

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
