Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A control system has a damping ratio of 0.8. If the natural frequency ωn is 10 rad/s, calculate the overshoot percentage for the response.

💡 Hint: Recall the overshoot formula relates to the damping ratio and oscillatory behavior.

Question 2

If a second-order system has the transfer function G(s) = 25/(s² + 10s + k) where k varies, determine the values of k for critically damped and overdamped conditions.

💡 Hint: Use the damping ratio relationship with the coefficients.
