Homework 3 Solution: Problem 1

This document provides solutions to three homework problems: 1) A multi-step solution to a control system problem involving speed, grade changes, and throttle changes. The solution derives an equation for the closed loop output. 2) Discusses the difference between principle of underlying physics and experimental methods for problem solving. Experimental methods are more expensive due to requiring prototypes, time, and uncertainty. 3) Defines a transfer function as a mathematical function relating a system's output response to its input, describing the system's dynamic behavior.

Homework 3 Solution

Problem 1.

• Speed: 40 mph

• 1% grade change: 3 mph change

• 1throttle change: 7mph change

a)

Disturbances

3/7

u − yc l
7

b)

Disturbances

3/7

r x2 u − x1 yc l
10 7
−

1
c)

ycl = 7x1 (1)

3
x1 = u − w (2)
7

u = 10x2 (3)

x2 = r − ycl (4)

Substituting (4) in (3):

u = 10(r − ycl ) (5)

Substituting (5) in (2):


3
x1 = 10(r − ycl ) − w (6)
7

Substituting (6) in (1):


3
ycl = 7(10(r − ycl ) − w) (7)
7
70r − 3w
ycl = (8)

Problem 2.

• Principle of underlying physics

• Experimental methods

The second is more expensive because requires a prototype, time and uncertainty

with trial and error.

Problem 3.
Transfer function is a mathematical function relating the output response of a

system to its input. It describes the dynamics behaviour of a system.
