Assignment –4

Q.1. Formulate the governing equation for a second –order system-spring mass system with
damping.

Q.2. (a) Discuss the time domain parameters for the response of step input to second-order
system.

(b) When a step input was given to a second- order system, the measurements revealed
that the system had an overshoot of 12% in rise time of 0.22 second. Determine:

(i) Effective damping ratio. [Ans. 0.56]

(ii) Undamped natural frequency of the system. [Ans. 2.74 Hz]

Q.3. A 2nd order instrument has a natural frequency of 4 Hz and a damping ratio of 0.66. If the
excitation frequency of the system is 6 Hz, determine the error due to the proximity of
excitation frequency with the natural frequency of the system. [Ans. 57.3%]

Q.4. A second-order system is to be designed for damping the amplitude response by 40


percent for input frequencies from 10 to 50 Hz. Select suitable natural frequencies and
damping ratios c/cc to accomplish this objective.

Q.5. A second –order system follows the differential equation given below:

   

+3 + 30 = 30
 
where I0 and Ii are the output and input quantities respectively. Determine the following:
(i) Damping ratio [Ans. 0.274]
(ii) Damped natural frequency [Ans. 5.267 rad./sec]
(iii) Static sensitivity [Ans. K=1]
(iv) Time constant [Ans. 0.1826s]

Q.6. Explain the effect of undamped natural frequency ωn and the damping ratio ζ on the
response of a second-order measuring system.
A second - order system has been described by the following different equation

    

+2 + 25  = 25
 
where θ0 and θi are the output and input quantities respectively. Determine the damping
ratio, undamped and damped natural frequencies, static sensitivities and time constant.

Ans. damping ratio = 0.2, undamped natural frequencies ωn= 5 rad/s , damped natural frequencies
ωd = 4.899 rad/s , static sensitivities K= 1.0 and time constant = 0.2.
