  1. A linear second-order system with the transfer function
    G(s) =
    49
    s2 + 8s + 49

    is initially at rest and is subject to a step input signal. The response of the system will exhibit a peak overshoot of—
    1. 16%
    2. 9%
    3. 2%
    4. zero
Correct Option: C

We know that maximum overshoot is given as
Mp = e– ξπ/√1 – ξ2

From given T.F. = G
49
s2 + 8s + 49

C.E. = s2 + 8s + 49
on comparing this equation with the standard equation
ωns + ω2n = 0
2 ξωn and ωn = 7
or
ξ =
8
=
8
= .57
n2 × 7

% Mp = e
-3.14 × (0.57)2
× 100 = 2%
1 - (0.57)2
