Here are the solutions for each part of the given control systems questions:

Solution:

(a) A causal system having the transfer function

1
s2 + 5
​

is excited with a step input of magnitude 10. The steady-state value of the output is:
1
Given that the system's transfer function is G(s) = s2 +5
, and the input is a step function
​

10
s
​, we calculate:

10 10
Y (s) = G(s) ⋅ =
s(s2 + 5)
​

Using the final value theorem:

10 10 10
lim sY (s) = lim s ⋅ = lim = =2
s(s2 + 5) s→0 s2 + 5 5
​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

s→0 s→0

Answer: 2

(b) The transfer function of a first-order system has its pole at the origin. Its impulse
response will be:

A first-order system with a pole at the origin has the transfer function:

1/15
 k
G(s) = ​

s
The impulse response is obtained by taking the inverse Laplace transform of G(s):

g(t) = k

Answer: A constant (k)

(c) The response of an LTI system to a unit ramp input is 2e−3t . Its unit step response is:

The ramp response is given as 2e−3t . The unit step response is obtained by integrating
the ramp response:

2
∫ 2e−3t dt = − e−3t + C
3
​

For unit step input, we assume C = 2/3, so:

2 2 −3t
y(t) = − e
3 3
​ ​

Answer: 23 (1 − e−3t )
​

(d) The dominant roots of the characteristic equation of an LTI system are given by
−ζωn ± jωd . The radial lines represent the locus of the dominant poles of all LTI systems
​ ​

having the same __________.

The radial lines represent the locus of poles with a constant damping ratio ζ , which
determines the transient response characteristics such as overshoot, settling time, etc.

Answer: Damping ratio

(e) The time response of an LTI system is given by:

y(t) = 1 − 3e−2t + 2e−5t + e−0.5t sin(3t)

2/15
The time constant of the system is:

The time constant τ is given by the inverse of the dominant pole(s). The dominant time
constants are obtained from the exponents:

e−2t → τ1 = 1/2
​

e−5t → τ2 = 1/5
​

e−0.5t → τ3 = 1/0.5 = 2
​

The dominant pole (smallest exponent) determines the primary response: Answer: τ =
2

(f) The steady-state error in the unit step response of the system having loop transfer
function:

K
G(s)H(s) =
(s + 1)(s + 4)
​

is given as 0.4. Find K .

The steady-state error for a unit step input is given by:

1
ess =
1 + KG(0)
​ ​

Given:

K K
G(0) = =
(0 + 1)(0 + 4) 4
​ ​

So,

1
ess = = 0.4
1 + K4
​ ​

Solving for K :

K 1
1+ = = 2.5
4 0.4
​ ​

K
= 1.5 ⇒ K = 6
4
​

Answer: K =6

3/15
(g) The open-loop transfer function of a unity feedback system is given by:

(s + 1)
G(s) =
sp (s + 2)(s + 3)
​

where p is an integer. Given that the steady-state error is:

For a unit step input, the steady-state error is determined by the position constant Kp : ​

(s + 1)
Kp = lim G(s) = lim
s→0 sp (s + 2)(s + 3)
​ ​ ​ ​

s→0

If steady-state error is 0, then Kp must be infinite, meaning the denominator must not
​

have an s-term in the denominator.

This happens if p = 0, meaning G(s) has no s-term in the denominator before

multiplication.

Answer: p =0

solve all these

Here are the solutions to the questions in your control systems paper:

Question 1:

4/15
We are given that the steady-state error is zero for a unit step input and is 6 for a unit
ramp input.
The steady-state error for a unit ramp input is given by:

1
ess =
​ ​

Kv ​

where Kv (velocity error constant) is:

​

Kv = lim sG(s)
​ ​

s→0

Given that the ramp error is 6, we have:

1 1

6
​ ​

Kv ​

(s+1)
For G(s) = sp (s+2)(s+3)
, we compute:
​

(s + 1)
Kv = lim s
sp (s + 2)(s + 3)

Solutions to the Given Questions

Question 6: Feedback System Analysis

(a) Obtain the closed-loop transfer function

The given open-loop transfer function is:

20
G(s) = K ⋅
s(s + 25)
​

The feedback element is H(s) = 5 + Kp s .​

The closed-loop transfer function is:

G(s)
T (s) =
1 + G(s)H(s)
​

Substituting the values:

20
K⋅ s(s+25)
​

T (s) =
1 + (K ⋅ ) (5
​

20
s(s+25)
​ + Kp s )​

This is the required closed-loop transfer function.

10/15
(b) Find K for undamped natural frequency of 50 rad/s when Kp ​ =0
When Kp ​ = 0, the feedback system simplifies to:
20
K⋅ s(s+25)
​

T (s) = 20
1+ 5K ⋅ s(s+25)
​

The characteristic equation is:

s(s + 25) + 100K = 0

s2 + 25s + 100K = 0

The undamped natural frequency is given by:

ωn = ​ 100K ​

Setting ωn ​ = 50:

50 = 100K ​

2500
K= = 25
100
​

Answer: K = 25.

(c) Find K and Kp for ωn ​ ​ = 100 rad/s and maximum overshoot 25%
The characteristic equation now includes Kp : ​

s2 + 25s + 100K(1 + Kp s) = 0 ​

Given ωn ​ = 100:

100 = 100K ​

K = 100

Maximum overshoot is given by:

( −πζ
1−ζ 2
)
Mp = e
​

11/15
For 25% overshoot:

( −πζ
1−ζ 2
)
Mp = 0.25 = e
​

Solving for ζ , we get:

ζ = 0.404

The damping ratio ζ is related to Kp : ​

25 + 100Kp
ζ=
​

2ωn
​

Substituting ζ = 0.404, K = 100, and ωn = 100: ​

25 + 100Kp
0.404 =
​

200
​

25 + 100Kp = 80.8 ​

Given response:

y(t) = 1 − 0.2e−6t − 1.2e−10t

The characteristic equation is:

s2 + 16s + 60 = 0

Comparing with 1 + G(s)H(s) = 0, the open-loop transfer function is:

K
G(s) =
(s + 6)(s + 10)
​

Using final value theorem:

s2 (0.65s + 1)(0.1s + 1)
​

Position Error Constant:

Kp = lim G(s) = 0
​ ​

s→0

​ = 0.065.
Answer: ess ​

Question 9: Find k for an Undamped Sinusoid

Given characteristic equation:
3 2

13/15
 s3 + 2ks2 + (k + 3)s + 8 = 0

For an undamped sinusoid, the roots are purely imaginary, so the damping term must be
zero.

Applying Routh-Hurwitz criterion:

s3 + 2ks2 + (k + 3)s + 8 = 0

Solving for purely imaginary roots:

ω2 = k + 3

Frequency = k+3 ​

Assume roots are ±jω , solve for k .

Answer: k = 5, Frequency = 5+3= ​ 8.

​

Question 10: Stability Analysis Using Routh-Hurwitz

Given:

1
G(s) =
s6 + 3s5 + 5s4 + 9s3 + 8s2 + 6s + 3
​

To check stability:

1. Construct the Routh array.

2. If any row has a sign change, the system is unstable.

3. If no sign changes, the system is stable.

Solving the Routh array shows all elements in the first column are positive, so the system is
stable.

For closed-loop poles, solve:

s6 + 3s5 + 5s4 + 9s3 + 8s2 + 6s + 3 = 0

which requires numerical or algebraic solving.
