Answer to Problem 1RQ

Signals, system, summing junction and pick-off points are the four components of a block diagram for a linear, time-invariant system.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

Linear time invariant system (LTI system) represents a class of systems which are linear as well as time invariant. It means that for LTI systems the out possess the linear relationship which is same as the linear combination of individual responses. Also, the output does not depend upon the time at which the input is applied. These systems are easy to represent and understand.

To analyse the control system mathematically, a block diagram of the control system is constructed. The basic components of a block diagram for a linear, time-invariant system as follows:

  • Signals: Signal is one of the basic components. We have input signals and output signals.
  • R(s)SignalsC(s)

  • System: System is one of the most significant components of the block diagram which connects input and output.

R(s)G(s) C(s) System

  • Summing Junction: Summing junction is the component of the block diagram where the signals get combined as follows.

  • The pick-off points: Pickoff points are those points where the signal get into different components.

Conclusion:

Thus, four basic components of a block diagram for a linear, time-invariant system are signals, system, summing junction and pick-off points.

2 A metal block of mass m = 10 kg is sliding along a frictionless surface with an initial speed Vo, as indicated below. The block then slides above an electromagnetic brake that applies a force FEB to the block, opposing its motion. The magnitude of the electromagnetic force varies quadratically with the distance moved along the brake (x): 10 FEB = kx², with k = 5 N m² V₁ = 8 m/s m = 10 kg FEB Frictionless surface Electromagnetic brake ⇒x Determine how far the block slides along the electromagnetic brake before stopping, in m.
