QUESTIONS Question 1:

Figure 1

Figure 2 Would you please explain the main differences between the two diagrams above?. What can you say about Figures 1 and 2? In order to explain your ideas, consider two real systems as examples, e.g. car cruise control or irrigation of a farm with traditional methods. Please explain all terms in the figures briefly and clearly.

Question 2: Simplify the block diagram shown in the Figures 3 and 4 by using block diagram reduction tecnique and obtain the closed loop transfer function between input and output. Afterwards, verify your result by using algebraic manupulations.

Question 5 (Adapted from Ogata, Modern Control Engineering, 3. Ed.) Obtain the transfer functions Xo(s)/Xi(s) of each of the three mechanical systems shown in Figure 7. In the diagrams, xi denotes the input displacement and xo denotes the output displacement (Each displacement is measured from its equilibrium position.).
