INSTRUCTION TO CANDIDATES: ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS
ARAHAN KEPADA CALON: JAWAB SEMUA SOALAN

QUESTION 1

(a) A control system is described by the following mathematical equations:

f S 1  k1  x B  x O 
f S 2  k 2  xI  x A 
B
xB  xA
A
f S 1  mD 2 xO
f S1 B  f S 2 A  0
Where f is force, x is displacement and A, B, k and m are system parameters. Draw a block
diagram to represent this system. [6 marks]

(b) A control system is represented by block diagram shown in Figure Q1. Draw a Signal Flow
Graph representing this system and find the transfer function of this system using Mason
Rule’s.

QUESTION 2

a) If a step input u(t) is given to a control system governed by the following differential
equation, and all initial conditions are zero, obtain the time response of the system.

d2y/dt + 3dy/dt + 2y(t) = 3du(t)/dt + 2 u(t) [8 marks]

b) An investigation of time response was carried out on a water level system using step
input. It is found that with the input flowrate, qi = 20 m3/s, the head of the system, h,
reached it steady state at 40 meter and it takes 2 seconds to reaches 25.28 meter. Obtained
the transfer function of this system and sketch the time response.
