1. For the following dierential equation 2 the damping ratio is A. 1 B. 2 C. 0.5 D. 0.

7 d2 y dy + 4 + 8y = 8x 2 dt dt

Solution: Let x be the input and y be the output. d2 y dy + 2 + 4y = 4x 2 dt dt Taking Laplace transfrom s2 Y (s) + 2sY (s) + 4Y (s) = 4X(s) The transfer function of the system is given by Y (s) 4 = 2 X(s) s + 2s + 4 Comparing with the standard form
2 Y (s) n = 2 2 2 X(s) s + 2n s + n

Therefore, n = 2. 2n = 2 n = 1 1 1 = = 0.5 = n 2 2. The time constant for the dierential equation in the above problem is A. 0.5 B. 1.5 C. 0.2 D. 1.0
