1. (a) If vi (t) is a step voltage in the network shown in Figure 1. Find the value of the resistor such that a
20% overshoot in voltage will be seen across the capacitor if C = 10−6 F and L = 1H.

Figure 1: RLC circuit

(b) If vi (t) is a step voltage in the network shown in Figure 1. Find the values of R and C to yield a
20% overshoot and a 1 ms settling time for vc (t) if L = 1H.

2. The unit-step response of a second-order system is shown in Figure 2. Find ζ, ωn , Tp , Ts and %OS. Also
find the time at which the undershoot of the first valley point occurs and the time at which the second
peak occurs.

3. Anestheisa induces muscle relaxation (paralysis) and unconsciousness in the patient. Muscle relaxation
can be monitored using electromyogram signals from nerves in the hand; unconsciousness can be monitored
using the cardiovascular system’s mean arterial pressure. The anesthetic drug is a mixture of isoflurane
and atracurium. An approximate model relating muscle relaxation to the percent isoflurane in the mixture
is
P (s) 7.63 × 10−2
= 2
U (s) s + 1.15s + 0.28

where P (s) is the muscle relaxation measured as a fraction of total paralysis (normalized to unity) and
U (s) is the percent mixture of isoflurane.
(a) Find the damping ratio and natural frequency of the paralysis transient response
(b) Find the maximum possible percent paralysis if a 2% mixture of isoflurane is used.
(c) What percent of isoflurane would have to be used for 100% paralysis?

4. Consider a unity feedback system with open-loop transfer function G1 (s) = 2s+1 . Obtain the closed-loop
transfer function T1 (s) of the system. For a unit step input, find out the steady state error.
Now a pole at the origin is introduced to the system, modifying the open-loop transfer function as G2 (s) =

5
s(2s+1) .Obtain the new closed-loop transfer function T2 (s). For a unit step input, find out the peak time,
peak overshoot, settling time and also the steady state error.
5(s+2)
Further a zero is added to the system, giving a modified open-loop transfer function of G3 (s) = s(2s+1) .
Obtain the new closed-loop transfer function T3 (s). For a unit step input, find out the new peak time,
peak overshoot, settling time and also the steady state error.
Compare the steady state errors obtained in the 3 cases. Also compare the peak time and overshoot for
the 2 modified systems.
In a single figure, plot the step responses of the 3 different transfer functions in MATLAB, and comment
on the observations. You may use the commands - tf(), step(), hold on, feedback().

5. For each of the second-order systems that follow, find ζ, ωn , Ts , Tp , Tr , and %OS

(a) T (s) = s2 +3s+16
0.04
(b) T (s) = s2 +0.02s+0.04
1.05×107
(c) T (s) = s2 +1.6×103 s+1.05×107

For the above three systems, Use MATLAB’s LTI Viewer and obtain settling time, peak time, rise
time, and percent overshoot.{Hint: use linearSystemAnalyzer in MATLAB }
14.145
(d) T (s) = (s2 +0.842s+2.829)(s+5)

6. For each of the following transfer functions with zeros, find the component parts of the unit step response:
(1) the derivative of the response without a zero and (2) the response without a zero, scaled to the negative
of the zero value. Also, find and plot the total response. Describe any nonminimum-phase behavior. [Refer
Section 4.8 of Norman Nise for hints if necessary.]

(a) G(s) = s2 +3s+36
s−2
(b) G(s) = s2 +3s+36
