$1\mathrm{.}4\mathrm{.}1$ Plant Description

A system plant is described as follows:

$\frac{C(s)}{U(s)}=G_p(s)=\frac{1}{s^2+0\mathrm{.}8s+1}$

Students, assumed to act as the control$-$engineering consultants, will be expected to work alone and each will submit a formal report including the following key points.

Define a practical engineering plant, which would feature similar dynamical behaxiour to the theoretical dynamics given in the plant description above. Briefly describe the
