Question
Consider a closed-loop system as shown. is the plant transfer function and is the compensator. For a unit-step input, the output response has damped oscillations. The damped natural frequency is __________ rad/s. (Round off to 2 decimal places.)

Correct answer
10.8 to 11
Solution
The characteristic equation of the closed-loop system is given by .
Given and , we have:Comparing with the standard second-order characteristic equation :
rad/s
The damped natural frequency is given by:
