Question 1:
A system is described by the following differential equation

𝑑2𝑦 𝑑𝑦 𝑑𝑢
+ 4 + 2𝑦 = + 2𝑢
𝑑𝑡 2 𝑑𝑡 𝑑𝑡
Represent the system in state space form

Question 2:
The transfer function of a system is given by
𝑦(𝑠) 10𝑠 + 10
= 3
𝑢(𝑠) 𝑠 + 6𝑠 2 + 5𝑠 + 10
Obtain the state equation of the system and derive the output equation

Question 3:
Consider a massless cart carrying a mass m, having viscous friction f and a linear spring
of coefficient of stiffness k as shown in the figure below. The input to the system is u(t).
At t=0, the cart is moving at a constant speed and the displacement is y(t).
(a) Obtain transfer function of the system
(b) Derive the state equation of the system.

Question 4:

Obtain the state equation of the system which is governed by

𝑦⃛ + 𝑎1 𝑦̈ + 𝑎2 𝑦̇ + 𝑎3 𝑦 = 𝑏0 𝑢̈ + 𝑏1 𝑢̇ + 𝑏2 𝑢
