Problem Set 1
Problem 1. Identify the organ-system components, and the input and output, and deseribe the operation of the
biological control syste consisting of a human being reaching for an object
Problem 2. Consider the voltage divider network of Figure 1. The output is 1, and the input is vy. (a) Write an
equation for 1 as a function of vs, Rr and Re. That is, write an equation for vz which yields an open-loop system. (5)
Write an equation for vg in closed-loop form, that is, vg as a function of vy, vs, Ry and Re

Problem 3. Explain how the classical economic concept known as the Law of Supply and Demand can be interpreted
‘as a feedback control system. Choose the markot price (selling price) of a particular item as the output of the system,
‘and assume the objective of the system is to maintain price stability,
