a) 4.79, 0.208
b) 5.73, 0.31
c) 5.89, 0.208
d) 5.49, 0.308
Answer: a
Explanation: Given ,y(t)=Cos(t) – u(t) and x(t) = 5Sin(t) – u(t),
Hence, transfer function H(s)=(frac{[frac{s}{s^2+1}-frac{1}{s}]}{[frac{5}{s^2+1}-frac{1}{s}]} =-frac{1}{frac{s(s^2+1)}{frac{(5s-s^2-1)}{s(s^2+1)}}}=frac{1}{S^2-5S+1})
Roots of equation s2 – 5s + 1 = 0 is s = 4.79, 0.208.

5. Find the equation of transfer function which is defined by y(t)-∫0t y(t)dt + ddt x(t) – 5Sin(t) = 0.
a) (frac{s(e^{-as}-1)}{s-1})
b) (frac{(e^{-as}-s)}{s-1})
c) (frac{s(e^{-as}-s)}{s-1})
d) (frac{s(e^{-as}-s^2)}{s-1})
Answer: c
Explanation:
Given, (y(t)-∫_0^t y(t)dt+frac{d}{dt} x(t)-x(t-a)=0)
Taking Laplace, (Y(s)-frac{Y(s)}{s}+sX(s)-e^{-as} X(s)=0)
H(s)=Y(s)/X(s) =(frac{(e^{-as}-s)}{1-frac{1}{s}}=frac{s(e^{-as}-s)}{s-1})

6. Find the poles of transfer function given by system d2dt2 y(t) – ddt y(t) + y(t) – ∫0t x(t)dt = x(t).
a) 0, 0.7 ± 0.466
b) 0, 2.5 ± 0.866
c) 0, 0 .5 ± 0.866
d) 0, 1.5 ± 0.876
Answer: c
Explanation: We know that,
Given, (frac{d^2}{dt^2} y(t)-frac{d}{dt} y(t)+y(t)-int_0^t x(t)dt=x(t))
Now, Taking laplace, we get, ((s^2-s+1)Y(s)=(1+frac{1}{s})X(s))
H(s)=(frac{s+1}{s(s^2-s+1)})
Roots of s3-s2+s=0, are 0,.5±0.866

7. Find the transfer function of a system given by equation d2dt2 y(t-a) + x(t) + 5 ddt y(t) = x(t-a).
a) (e-as-s)/(1+e-as s2)
b) (e-as-5s)/(e-as s2)
c) (e-as-s)/(2+e-as s2)
d) (e-as-5s)/(1+e-as s2)
Answer: d
Explanation: Given, d2dt2 y(t-a) + x(t) + 5 ddt y(t) = x(t-a).

Taking laplace transform, s2 Y(s) e-sa + X(s) + 5sY(s) = e-as X(s)

Hence, H(s) = Y(s)X(s) =(e-as-5s)/(1+e-as s2).

8. Any system is said to be stable if and only if ____________
a) It poles lies at the left of imaginary axis
b) It zeros lies at the left of imaginary axis
c) It poles lies at the right of imaginary axis
d) It zeros lies at the right of imaginary axis
Answer: a
Explanation: Any system is said to be stable if and only if it poles lies at the left of imaginary axis.

9. The system given by equation 5 d3dt3 y(t) + 10 ddt y(t) – 5y(t) = x(t) + ∫0t x(t)dt, is?
a) Stable
b) Unstable
c) Has poles 0, 0.455, -0.236±1.567
d) Has zeros 0, 0.455, -0.226±1.467
Answer: a
Explanation:
Given, 5 d3dt3 y(t) + 10 ddt y(t) – 5y(t) = x(t) + ∫0t x(t)dt,
By laplace transform, 5s3 Y(s)+10sY(s)-5Y(s)=X(s)+1/s X(s)
Hence,
(frac{Y(s)}{X(s)} =frac{[1+1/s]}{5s^3+10s-5}=frac{[s+1]}{s(5s^3+10s-5)})
Poles of (frac{Y(s)}{X(s)}) are, 0 ,0.455,-0.226±1.467
Hence system is Unstable.

10. Find the laplace transform of input x(t) if the system given by d3dt3 y(t) – 2 d2dt2 y(t) –ddt y(t) + 2y(t) = x(t), is stable.
a) s + 1
b) s – 1
c) s + 2
d) s – 2
Answer: b
Explanation: d3dt3 y(t) – 2 d2dt2 y(t) – ddt y(t) + 2y(t) = x(t),
Taking laplace transform,
(s3 – 2s2 – s + 2)Y(s) = X(s)
H(s) = Y(s)X(s) = 1(s-1)(s+1)(s+2)
For the system to be stable, X(s) = s – 1.

11. The system given by equation y(t – 2a) – 3y(t – a) + 2y(t) = x(t – a) is?
a) Stable
b) Unstable
c) Marginally stable
d) 0
Answer: a
Explanation: Given, y(t-2a)-3y(t-a)+2y(t)=x(t-a), then
Taking Laplace transform, e-2as Y(s)-3e-as Y(s)+2Y(s)=e-as X(s),
Hence, (H(s)=frac{e^{-as}}{(1-e^{-as})(2-e^{-as})})
To find the stability, we should have, (∫_{-∞}^∞ H(s)ds>0)
Hence, (int_{-infty}^infty frac{e^{-as}}{(1-e^{-as})(2-e^{-as})} ds)
Let, (e^{-as}=z=>-ae^{-as} ds=dz)
(frac{1}{a} int_0^∞ frac{1}{(1-z)(2-z)} dz=frac{1}{a} int_0^∞ left [frac{1}{(z-1) }-frac{1}{z-2} right ]dz=frac{1}{a} ln⁡left [frac{z-1}{z-2}right ])
putting, z=0, (frac{1}{a} ln⁡left [frac{z-1}{z-2}right ]=frac{1}{a} ln⁡(frac{1}{2}))
putting, z=∞, (frac{1}{a} ln⁡left [frac{z-1}{z-2}right ]=frac{1}{a} ln⁡[frac{1-1/z}{1-2/z}])=0
hence, (int_{-infty}^infty frac{e^{-as}}{(1-e^{-as})(2-e^{-as})} ds=frac{1}{a} ln⁡(frac{1}{2}))

It is stable.
