  1. For a unit step input, a system with forward path transfer function G(s) = 20/s2 and feedback path transfer function H(s) = (s + 5) has a steady state output of—
    1. 20
    2. 5
    3. 0.2
    4. zero
Correct Option: D

Steady state error, ess = s →∞Lim s E (s)
Given

G(s) =
20
s2

H(s) = s + 5
r(t) = 1, then R (s) = 1/s
we know that
E(s)
=
1
R(s)1 + G(s) H(s)

E(s)
=
1
=
1
R(s)1 + 20/s2(s + 5)1/s2 + 20(s + 5)

or
E(s) = R(s)
s2
s2 + 20(s + 5)

E(s) =
1
.
s2
s s2 + 20(s + 5)

so,
s →∞Lim s·
s
s2 + 20(s + 5)

= s →∞Lim s·
1
1 + 20/s + 5/s2

ess = 0 (apply the limit)
