  1. The second order system defined by
    25
    s2 + 5s + 25

    is given a step input. The time taken for the output to settle within ± 2% of input is—
    1. 1.2 sec
    2. 1.6 sec
    3. 2 sec
    4. 0.4 sec
Correct Option: B

Settling time =
4
for ± 2% of input
ξωn

from the given C.E. ⇒ s2 + 5s + 25 = 0
ω2n = 25
2ξ ωn = 5
ξ =
5
=
5
= 0·5
2 × ωn2 × 5

so, settling time =
4
=
4
=
4
ξωn0·5 × 52·5

= 1.6 sec.
