1. A unity negative feedback control system has the plant transfer function
𝐾
𝐺(𝑠) =
𝑠(𝑠 + √2𝐾)
(a) Determine the percent overshoot and settling time (using a 2% settling
criterion) due to a unit step input.
(b) For what range of K is the settling time less than 1 second?
2. A system with unity feedback is shown in the following figure. Determine the
steady-state error for a step and a ramp input when
6(𝑠 + 5)
𝐺(𝑠) =
𝑠(𝑠 + 1)(𝑠 + 3)(𝑠 + 10)
3. For the system with unity feedback shown in the previous figure, determine the
steady-state error for a step and a ramp input when
10
𝐺(𝑠) =
𝑠 2 + 14𝑠 + 50
Answer: ess = 0.83 for a step and ess = ∞ for a ramp
