2. Consider the cascade interconnection of three causal LTI systems, illustrated in Figure 1(a). The
impulse response h2[n] is
(b)
3. For each of the following pairs of waveforms, use the convolution integral to find the response
y(t) of the LTI system with impulse response h(t) to the input x(t). Sketch your results.
4. Consider an LTI system with input and output related through the equation
t
y t e t x 2 d
(b) Determine the response of the system when the input x(t) is as shown in Figure.
5. In the mechanical system shown in Figure (a), the force x(t) applied to the mass represents the
input, while the displacement y(t) of the mass represents the output. Determine the differential
equation relating x(t) and y(t). Show that the natural response of this system is periodic.
(b) Consider Figure (b ), in which the force x(t) is the input and the velocity y(t) is the output. The
mass of the car ism, while the coefficient of kinetic friction is p. Show that the natural response of
this system decays with increasing time.
(c) In the mechanical system shown in Figure (c), the force x(t) applied to the mass represents the
input, while the displacement y(t) of the mass represents the output.
(ii) Show that the homogeneous solution of the differential equation from part (i) has the form e-
at
{K1ejt + K2e-jt}, and specify the value of a.
(iii) Show that, since the force and displacement are restricted to be real, the natural response of
the system is a decaying sinusoid.
