b1( x&1 x&0 ) + k1( x1 x0 ) = b2 ( x&0 y& )

T3 : Solution
To find the impulse response let us difference the response.
c (t) = 12 e10t 12e60t
tanking inverse laplace transform we get

C (s) =

600
(s + 10)(s + 60)

C (s) =

600
s + 70s + 600
2

c (s) is the impulse response thus comparing it with the standard equation.
2 n = 70
n =

= 1.428 1.43

T4 : Solution
Since real port of the given second order equation is at 0.602 thus they can be considered as dominant
poles.

Stability

T1 : Solution
Given, Open loop transfer function < 1
i.e.
G(s) H(s) < 1
G
or,
(j) H(j) < 1
or,
X < 1
Gain margin,

GM =

1
i.e. G.M. > 1
X

Gain margin (in dB) > 0

Since gain margin of the given system is positive, therefore, the system is always stable.
T2 : Solution
With negative feedback, the system stability will increase. In open loop system.
G(s)

R(s)

C(s)

The gain of the system is G(s).

Where as in closed loop system
R(s)

G(s)

C(s)

H(s)

The closed loop gain of the systems

G(s) H (s)
hence it is divided by 1 + G(s) H(s), in closed loop
1 + G(s) H (s)

system with negative feedback gain decreases.

T3 : Solution
The correct sequence of steps needed to improve system stability is to use negative feedback,
reduce gain and insert deviation action.
