Overview:
Mass-Spring System Model:
The spring force is assumed to be either linear or can be approximated by a linear function
Fs(x)= Kx, B is the friction coefficient, x(t) is the displacement and Fa(t) is the applied force:
The differential equation for the above Mass-Spring system can be derived as follows
Transfer Function:
Applying the Laplace transformation while assuming the initial conditions are zeros, we get
Then the transfer function representation of the system is given by
Exercise 1:
Consider the transfer function
Using MATLAB plot the pole zero map of the above system

Exercise 2:
a. Obtain the unit impulse response for the following system
Exercise 3:
A system has a transfer function
Plot the response of the system when R(s) is a unit impulse and unit step for the
parameter z=3, 6 and 12
For z = 12
Exercise 4:
Consider the differential equation y’’ + 4y’ + 4y = u where y(0) = y’(0) = 0 and u(t) is a unit
step. Determine the solution analytically and verify by co-plotting the analytical solution and the
step response obtained with ‘step’ function.
