SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the application of the overshoot formula for a closed-loop second-order transfer function represented as $$\frac{10-s}{0.3s^2+3.1s+(1+24K_{C})}$$ when subjected to a step input. The formula $$\frac{A}{B}=e^{\frac{-\pi \zeta}{\sqrt{1-\zeta^2}}}$$ is questioned for its validity in this context. Participants suggest splitting the transfer function into a low-pass and a bandpass component, each having established overshoot expressions in relevant textbooks. The numerical value of $$K_C$$ is crucial for determining the final response.
