For servomechanism with an open loop transfer function (s+2) (s+3) what type of
input signal gives rise to a constant steady-state error and calculates their values?
(For finding Kp  1 mark; For finding ess  1 mark)

12. What is Gain and phase cross-over frequency? R/CO2

(Gain cross-over frequency: 1 Mark; Phase cross-over frequency: 1 Mark)
Gain cross-over frequency:
The gain cross-over frequency is the frequency at which the magnitude of the open loop
transfer function is unity.
Phase cross-over frequency:
The phase cross-over frequency is the frequency at which the phase of the open loop
transfer function is 180o

characteristics equation s5+8s3+18s2+16s+5=0.Comment on the location of the roots of the
characteristic equation.

15. Why derivative controller is not used alone in control systems?

(Reason – 2 Marks)

1. The derivative or differential controller is never used alone. With sudden changes in R/CO5
the system, the derivative controller will compensate for the output fast.

2. The long-term effects of the controller allow huge steady state errors.
