Question

Which of the following command will reveal the damping ratio of the system?

(a) damp()

(b) damp[]

(c) damping{}

(d) dr()

The question was asked in exam.

My question is taken from Time Response of Control Systems in section Control System Applications of MATLAB

Answer 1

Right option is (a) damp()

To explain I would say: damp() is the correct command to find the damping ration of the system. We need to represent the system by it’s transfer function and give it as an input to the damp() command. The input has to be within parentheses.
