Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around an open-loop system characterized by a distance-velocity lag and a single transfer lag. The original poster expresses confusion regarding the terminology and the meaning of 'units' in the context of a step disturbance affecting the system's output.

Discussion Character

  • Conceptual clarification, Assumption checking, Exploratory

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants explore the meaning of "single transfer lag," with some suggesting it may refer to a first-order lag or a pure time delay. There are inquiries about the implications of the distance-velocity lag and how it affects the output response. Questions arise regarding the interpretation of 'units' in the problem statement.

Discussion Status

Participants are actively discussing the terminology and its implications for the problem. Some have shared their interpretations and experiences with similar terms, while others are seeking clarification on the mathematical relationships involved. There is no explicit consensus on the definitions, but several participants are attempting to connect the concepts to their learning materials.

Contextual Notes

There is mention of insufficient information in the learning materials regarding the terms used in the problem. Participants are also navigating the challenges posed by the course notes, which they find lacking in detail related to the assignment questions.

Please note that this thread is bit old and that @Tromso80 was last seen here in August 2021. The thread itself is more than 4 years old. It is unlikely that you will get a response to your query. This question is outside my expertise, otherwise I would help you. Your best bet would be to start a new thread in one of the engineering forums.
Ok Thanks for the heads up, I was not sure if duplicate threads were ok, cheers

We often see the same problems with different numbers in the homework forums. That's OK as long as the same problem is not posted by the same user in two separate threads.
