Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A factory is using an open-loop system to control a mixing tank. Due to fluctuating ingredient quality, the mixture is not uniform. If the factory shifts to a closed-loop system, explain how the change will improve their process.

💡 Hint: Consider how feedback can lead to better quality in production.

Challenge 2 Hard

Evaluate the performance of an open-loop and a closed-loop system in a temperature control scenario. Discuss the possible inaccuracies each system might encounter.

💡 Hint: Think about how feedback can help manage temperature effectively.
