An open loop system has a forward path transfer function (42.25)/s(s + 6.5). The unit step response of the system starting from rest will have its maximum value at a time equal to
A:
0 sec
B:
0.56 sec
C:
5.6 sec
D:
infinity
Answer: D

Unit step response is Taking inverse transform, the time domain response is - 1 + 6.5t + e-6-5t. It reaches maximum value at t = infinity.

A:
2 rad/sec
B:
1 rad/sec
C:
0.5 rad/sec
D:
0.25 rad/sec
Answer: A

.

In a second order undamped system, the poles are on
A:
positive real axis
B:
imaginary axis
C:
negative real axis
D:
either (a) or (c)
Answer: B
