Question: Consider the system shown in Figure ( a ) . The damping ratio of this system is 0 . 1 5 8 and the undamped

Consider the system shown in Figure (a). The damping ratio of this system is 0.158 and the undamped natural frequency is 3.16radsec. To improve the relative stability, we employ tachometer feedback. Figure (b) shows such a tachometer-feedback system. (Note: A tachometer is a sensing device which measures speed)
Determine the value of Kh so that the damping ratio of the system is 0.5. Draw an approximate unit-step response curves of both the original and tachometer-feedback systems. Also draw the error-versus-time curves for the unit-ramp response of both systems. (Note: you can use hand sketch, but feel free to use Matlab or Simulink to submit more accurate results)
