Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
If a system has a transfer function of G(s)=5/ (s^2 + 10s + 25), analyze its damping properties and determine if it's overdamped. What type of input would reveal the characteristics of this system's response?
💡 Hint: Calculate ζ to assess the overdamped nature.
Consider a system that must quickly stabilize after a disturbance; discuss the implications of employing an overdamped configuration, suggesting alternatives where speedy response is critical.
💡 Hint: Reflect on scenarios where quick system recovery is essential.
