1. The measured and simulated step response graph

1.1 Comments
 The simulated gain based on the analytical solution is greater than the actual gain due
to disturbances and loses such as friction that decreases the value of the velocity.
 We determine the time constant value as the time required to reach 63.21% of the final
response. The gain Kv is the maximum value for the steady-state signal divided by the
input (which is equal to one in this case).

1.2. Calculation time constant and Kv

2. Closed-loop position step response for different values of Kp
2.1. Comments
The data is plotted between the 5th and 6th seconds as it's the best representation of the step
signal.

In proportional control, as the gain increases:

 The rise time decreases: the signal will reach the final value faster
 Overshoot value increases: the signal will go fast beyond the desired output
 The steady state error decreases: increasing the gain factor means more consideration
of the error between the desired and the actual outputs, better feedback, that decreases
the steady state error.
 The frequency in the transient response increases: that matches the above calculations
for the natural frequency.

In the simulated model, the steady state error for the three different Kp values is zero, as the
model don't consider disturbances.

In the experimental data, the disturbance has a greater impact on the signal if the proportionality
constant is small. As Kp approaches 2.1 the steady-state error approaches a small value.

2.2. Calculation for n and 

3. Measurement of Closed-loop Frequency Response
3.1. Comments
Comparing the above graphs for three different frequencies. We conclude:

 As the input signal frequency increases the lag time between the input and the response
increases.
 The amplitude of the signal reaches a minimum value at a specific frequency then, it
increases as the frequency changes below or above that specific frequency.
