Question
Match the transfer functions of the second-order systems with the nature of the systems given below.
| Transfer functions | Nature of system |
|---|---|
| P: | I: Overdamped |
| Q: | II: Critically damped |
| R: | III: Underdamped |
Correct answer
(C) P-III, Q-II, R-I
Solution
For a second-order system with characteristic equation , the damping ratio is calculated as where is the coefficient of and is the constant term.
- For P: . . Since , the system is Underdamped (III).
- For Q: . . Since , the system is Critically damped (II).
- For R: . . Since , the system is Overdamped (I).
