The transfer function is defined as the ratio of the Laplace transform of the output to the Laplace transform of the input by assuming initial conditions are zero.
The closed-loop transfer function for the second-order system is:
Auxilliary Equation is given as:
s2 + 2ξωns + ωn2 = 0 ---(1)
ωn is the natural frequency of oscillations in rad/sec
ξ is the damping ratio
Calculation:
Impulse response h(t) as:
We know that:
A.E. is given as:
s2 + 1.6s + 1 = 0
Comparing this with equation (1), we get:
ωn2 = 1
ωn = 1
2ξωn = 1.6
ξ = 0.8
Hence, option 1 is correct.
