1. Draw the block diagram representation of the following liquid level controller system. This
controller system is used for maintaining the level of water in the tank.
Answer:
2. Perform the block diagram reduction of the following:
Answer: Multiply the blocks in the forward path and apply the feedback formula to get
3. Considering the following circuit, find the transfer function assuming the input as applied
voltage v(t) and output and current i(t). Assuming R = 5 Ohm and L = 0.1 H, comment on the
stability of the system.
Answer:
v(t) = i(t).R + [Link]/dt
V(s) = I(s).R + Ls I(s) = (R+Ls).I(s)
Transfer function = I(s)/V(s) = 1/(R+Ls) = (0.1s+5)
As s = -50, on the left side of the pole zero map, the system is stable.
4. For each of the transfer functions shown below, find the locations of the poles and zeros, plot
them on the s-plane. State the nature of each response (undamped, overdamped,
underdamped, or critically damped)
2(𝑠+2)
1. 𝑇(𝑠) = (𝑠+4)(𝑠+1)
2
2. 𝑇(𝑠) = (𝑠2 +6𝑠+144)
(𝑠+3)
3. 𝑇(𝑠) = (𝑠+8)2
Answer:
1. Poles at -4 and -1, Zeroes at -2. overdamped response
2. Poles are at (-3+j3√15), (-3-j3√15), underdamped response
3. Poles are at -10, -10, critically damped.
5. Considering the system as shown below, find the transfer function assuming the input as force
f(t) and output as displacement x(t). Assume: Ks = 5 N/m, fv = 1N-s/m, and M = 1kg.
Answer:
6. For the following rotational mechanical system, find the transfer function assuming the input
as Torque T(t) and output as angular displacement θ1(t).
Answer:
Use the above equation to find the transfer function = T(s) / θ1(s)
7. Write the equation of motion for the following mechanical system and draw the equivalent
series and parallel electric circuit analogy. Assume: K = 5 N/m, fv = 1N-s/m, and M = 1kg.
Answer:
Series analogy
Parallel analogy
