5. Consider an under-damped second order system whose n (natural frequency) and (damping
ratio) are not well known. Develop an experiment whereby changing the input u(t) in a certain
way and recording the output y(t) with time you can determine the values of n and . (Note:
Only the complete answer will be given marks partial answer will not be considered)
(6 marks)
6. A useful circuit, called a lead network, is shown in Figure below. (9 marks)
(a)Determine the transfer function G(s) =Vo(s)/V(s).
(b)Determine the sensitivity of G(s) with respect to the capacitance C.
(c)Determine the transient response vo(t) for a step input V(s) = 1/s.

7. A closed-loop transfer function is (6 marks)

(a) Determine the steady-state error for a unit step input R(s) =1/s.

(b) Assume that the complex poles dominate, and determine the overshoot and settling time to
within 2% of the final value.

8. A closed-loop control system transfer function T(s) has two dominant complex conjugate
poles. Sketch the region in the left-hand s-plane where the complex poles should be located to
meet the specifications 0.6 0.8 and n 10 (3 marks)
