To make the servomechanism fast acting, the underdamped case is desirable. For the
underdamped situation, the roots are given by

1 −ξ^2 is known asdamped frequency of oscillation. The damped
oscillations in our example occur at a frequency of
ωd= 30

(b) Starting from Equation (16.2.22), with a step command of magnituder 0 and a step change
in load of magnitudeTL, assuming the system to be initially at rest, one obtains

(c) The loop gain must be increased by a factor of 0. 111 / 0. 025 = 4 .44. Hence the new value
of the amplifier gain is
