system.
2. Derive the expression for the time response of a second order system for the under-damped
system.
3. Define the terms: setup time, rise time, peak time, maximum overshoot and steady state
error.
4. Discuss the response of three standard inputs.
5. Define the terms: setup time, rise time, peak time, maximum overshoot and steady state
error.
6. Define type and order of a system.
7. Find the steady state error due to step, ramp and parabolic inputs.
8. Determine the step response of a control system shown in figure.

ANS:

9.
Find the steady error of the system shown in figure for the unit step input

Ans: 0.5

A
 Find the steady state value and the time at which the response reached the steady state

Ans: ess =1 and ts = 2 sec

Ans: 2 roots

Ans: K=2 and a=0.75

Ans : number of poles on the right half of S-plane = 2

Determine the stability of a system whose characteristic equation is

ANS:

Since there are two sign changes in the first

column, the characteristic equation has two roots
with negative real parts. Therefore, the system is
unstable.
 Find the range of K to keep the system shown below stable

Ans : -2/3<K<0

Find the stability of the control system having characteristic equation

Ans: There are two sign changes in the first column of Routh table. Hence, the

control system is unstable.
