  1. In the unity feedback system shown below, the value of derivative feedback constant a, which will increase the damping ratio of the system to 0.7 is—


    1. 0.152
    2. 0.245
    3. 0.353
    4. 0.558
Correct Option: B

On solving block 2

C(s)
=
8/s(s+2)
R′(s)1+8/s(s+2).as

C(s)
=
8
R′(s)s2 + s (8a + 2)

Now, again simplifying block 1
C(s)
=
8/s2 + s(8a +2)
R′(s)8/s2 + s (8a + 2).1 + 1

=
8
s2 + (8a + 2)s + 8

C.E. is s2 + (2 + 8a) s + 8 = 0
on comparing with the standard equation
s2 + 2 ξ ωns + ωn2 = 0
ωn2 = 8 ⇒ ωn = 2√2
2 ξ ωn = 2 + 8a
or
ξ =
2 + 8a
⇒ 0·7 =
2 + 8a
2.ωn2.2√2

on solving we get a = 0.245
