Question 1.
Define a transfer function.
Show hintHide hint
Starts with 'T' for Transfer.
Question 2.
What is a dynamic system?
Show hintHide hint
Think about systems like mass-spring or electric circuits.
3Question 3.
What does a transfer function represent?
- The output only
- The input only
- The input-output relationship
Show hintHide hint
Focus on what both input and output contribute.
4Question 4.
True or False: Stability means a system will always return to its equilibrium after a disturbance.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about how stability affects a system's functionality.
Question 5.
Explain how you would derive a transfer function for a simple pendulum system and discuss its stability.
Show hintHide hint
Think of how gravity and tension act on the pendulum.
Question 6.
Given a 2nd order system transfer function, determine the consequences of moving one pole into the right half-plane.
Show hintHide hint
Recall where the poles need to be for stability.
