Transfer function with laplace transform

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around deriving the transfer function V_o(s)/V_g(s) for a system described by a complex equation involving Laplace transforms. The equation includes terms for the output V_o(s), input V_g(s), and constants a, b, c, and d, as well as another input z(s). A key point raised is that the system may not be linear, which complicates the definition of a transfer function. Participants are asked for a step-by-step derivation to clarify the relationship between the inputs and outputs. The challenge lies in the non-linear nature of the system, suggesting that a traditional transfer function may not be applicable.

Hi,

I am trying to derive one transfer function for a system, but got stuck at a point. I want the solution to the ratio V_o(s)/V_g(s), the transfer function.

V_o(s) = [a*L{(V_g)^2} - b*L{V_o * (V_g)^2} - c*V_g(s) - d/s]*z(s)

In the following equation, I have:

s-> lapace transform variable
a,b,c and d -> some constants
V_o -> system output; V_o(s) = L{V_o} = laplace transform of system output
V_gs -> system input; V_gs(s) = L{V_g}
z -> another system input; z(s) = laplace transform of z

If somebody can give step by step derivation for this, that would be great!

thanks,

This system doesn't seem like a linear system, it seems no transfer function can be defined.

What is the distance between the tips at the moment when it is increasing most rapidly?(Putnam Exam Question) Answer: Making assumption that both the hands moves at constant angular velocities, the answer is ## \sqrt{7} .## But don't you think this assumption is somewhat doubtful and wrong?
