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

1 − 0. 2222 = 29 .25 rad/s(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 obtainsC(s)·(s^2 J+sF+K)=Kr 0

0. 0135= 0 .111 rad(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
