Question
The block diagram of a closed-loop control system is shown in the figure. , , and are the Laplace transforms of the time-domain signals , , and , respectively. Let the error signal be defined as . Assuming the reference input for all , the steady-state error , due to a unit step disturbance , is _________ (rounded off to two decimal places).

Correct answer
-0.11
Solution
1.Find the transfer function from to :
From the block diagram:- . Given , so .
- The output .
Therefore, .
2.Calculate the steady-state error for a unit step disturbance:
For a unit step disturbance, ..
Using the Final Value Theorem:
.
