3. (30p) A schematic diagram of a rotational inertia-spring-damper system is shown in the figure. The moment of inertia
of the rotor about the axis of rotation is J. Rotor is connected to the free end of a torsional spring with spring constant k,
and the other end of the spring is fixed to the wall. The angular
displacement of the rotor is θ. Assume that the friction between the rotor
and a static element is viscous friction with the viscous friction
coefficient b and that the external torque T is applied to the rotor.

b) (10p) Obtain the transfer function for the system.

c) (15p) Determine the final value of the unit step response of the system applying the final value theorem.

4. (30p) Consider the mechanical system shown in the figure. In this system, z2 is the unit
displacement input to the system. The displacement z1 of the mass m is the output. k1 and k2 are the
spring constants, b is the viscous friction coefficient.

a) (5p) Draw a free-body diagram of the system.

b) (10p) Obtain the equations of motion for the system using Newton’s Second Law.

c) (15p) Derive a state-space representation of the system. Show the state matrix, input matrix,
output matrix, and direct transmission matrix of the system (A, B, C and D matrices).
