f(t)=10sin2t for m=1 Kg, b=3 N.sec/m, and k=12 N/m. (7 points) a) For this part let G(s)=1/(s2+3s+12). Find the steady state response of the system output y(t) to u(t)=10sin2t.

Ao = G ( j) , = G ( j, = 2 rad/sec 10 1 1 G (2 j ) = = 2 (2 j ) + 2(2 j ) + 7 3 + 4 j yss (t ) = Ao sin (t + ),

Ao 1 1 2 3 = G (2 j ) = = = 0.1, = G (2 j ) = = 0 3 + 4 j = tan 1 = 0.6435 rad 2 2 10 3+ 4j 3+ 4 j 4 3 +4

. Thus

yss (t ) = sin (2t 0.6435)

2) Find the transfer function C(s)/R(s) of the block diagram shown. (6 points) From the equivalent block diagram: P=H/(1- H) (1) and C/R=GP/(1+GP/H) (2) Using the expression for P from (1) into (2) gives

P (s)

R(s) + G (s)
