Homework 1 - Solutions

1. Deriving Laplace Transforms


Derive the Laplace transforms of the following time functions using the definition of the Laplace
transform. Do not simply just look them up in a table.
(a) δ(t) = impulse
Solution:
Z ∞
L(δ(t)) = δ(t)e−st dt = 1
0−

(b) sin(ωt)u(t)
Solution:

Z ∞
L(sin(ωt)u(t)) = sin(ωt)u(t)e−st dt
0−
e−st ∞
= (s sin(ωt) − ω cos(ωt))

2. Using Laplace Transform Pairs


Using Laplace transform pairs in Table 2.1 and theorems in Table 2.2 in the book of Nise, derive
the Laplace transforms for the following time function:
(a) e−at cos(ωt)u(t)
Solution: Using the Frequency Shift Theorem and the Laplace Transform of cos(ωt), we get

s+a
L(e−at cos(ωt)u(t)) =
(s + a)2 + ω 2

3. Solving Differential Equations Using Laplace Transforms


Solve the following differential equation using Laplace transforms. Assume all forcing functions are
zero prior to t = 0− . (Hint: you will need to use partial fraction decomposition)

(a) 2
+6 + 8x = 5 sin 3t
dt dt
x(0) = 4, x0 (0) = 1
Solution: Taking the Laplace Transform with the given initial conditions, we get

s2 X(s) − 4s − 1 + 6(sX(s) − 4) + 8X(s) = 5
s2 +9
Solving for X(s), we get

4s3 + 25s2 + 36s + 240


X(s) =
(s2 + 9)(s2 + 6s + 8)

4. Differential Equation To Transfer Function in Laplace Domain


A system is described by the following differential equation (see below). Find the expression for the
transfer function of the system, Y (s)/X(s), assuming zero initial conditions.
d3 y d2 y dy d3 x d2 x dx
(a) + 3 + 5 + y = + 4 +6 + 8x

Solution: The Laplace Trasform assuming zero initial conditions is given by

s3 Y (s) + 3s2 Y (s) + 5sY (s) + Y (s) = s3 X(s) + 4s2 X(s) + 6sX(s) + 8X(s)
Y (s)[s3 + 3s2 + 5s + 1] = X(s)[s3 + 4s2 + 6s + 8]
Y (s) s3 + 4s2 + 6s + 8
= 3
X(s) s + 3s2 + 5s + 1

Solution:

X(s)[s3 + 11s2 + 12s + 18] = F (s)[s + 3]


s3 X(s) + 11s2 X(s) + 12sX(s) + 18X(s) = sF (s) + 3F (s)

Writing mesh equations

(2s + 2)I1 (s) − 2I2 (s) = Vi (s) (1)


−2I1 (s) + (2s + 4)I2 (s) = 0 (2)

From Eq(2), I1 (s) = (s + 2)I2 (s). Substituting this in Eq(1) yields

(2s + 2)(s + 2)I2 (s) − 2I2 (s) = Vi (s)

I2 (s) 1
⇒ = 2
Vi (s) 2s + 6s + 2
But VL (s) = 2sI2 (s)

VL (s) s
∴ = 2
Vi (s) s + 3s + 1
