Q.1 Solve the following differential equations using Laplace transforms:

a) +5 + 6y =3t with y(0) = 2, y´(0) = -1

b) +3 - y = 5t with y(0) = 2 and y´(0) = 0

c) –3 +2y = 1 with y´´(0) = y´(0) = y(0) =0

d) +4 +13y = u (t) with y´ (0) = y (0) =0. If any oscillatory

solutions exist, express them in terms of a sinusoidal function of time
plus a phase angle.

e) 2 - + 3y = 1+ sin2t with y´´ (0) = y´ (0) = y (0) =0.

Q.2 If f(s) = , find the value of f (t) as t→∞ using the final value
theorem.
Q.3 Verify the values of y (∞) using final value theorem:
-0.1t
a) y (t) = 2e
-0.5t
b) y (t) = 1-5e sin(6t+2)

Q.4 If f(s) = find f (t) at t = 0 using the initial value theorem.

Q.5 The differential equation describing the dynamic behavior of a first order
system is given by τ ( ) + Y = X. Show the response of this system in the
same for the following two cases:
i. Y (0) = 1, X = 0
ii. Y (0) = 0, X = τδ (t).
