Sorry I just re-read the question - it says 'comment on the validity of second order assumptions'. I suppose this would be one where its pretty uh.. ****. :P

Yeah I figured that was the case :P Ok thanks heaps for that reply! You really explained it well. I just found the roots of the quadratics... the first one is -2±5j and the second is -1±7j. As you said, the closer one to the imaginary axis has the larger effect, but I was taught that it...

I should probably mention this is a question from a past exam. So I assume it should be solvable within a few minutes

Thanks for your reply NascentOxygen. I'm not too sure what you mean though, could you possibly begin explaining the method you'd use, then I'll see if I can get it from there. In the mean time, anyone else have any ideas?

Hi, I have question where I am asked to find the % overshoot of a system based only on its transfer function. T(s) = 15(s+2.1) (s+2)(s2+4s+29)(s2+2s+50) I'm assuming I need to use second order assumptions and then find the damping...
