QUESTION 1
a) Determine the transfer function C(s) / R(s) of the system shown in figure 1 below
by block diagram reduction method.
b) Draw its signal flow graph, use Mason’s gain formula to find its transfer function, and
compare the answers obtained in a and b.

QUESTION 3
Describe, in a simplified way, the components and variables of the biological control system
involved in walking in a prescribed direction.
a) Is walking a closed-loop operation? Give reason to your answer and hence differentiate in a
tabular form, closed loop control system from open loop control system.
b) Explain the operation of ordinary traffic signals which control automobile traffic at roadway
intersections. Are they open-loop OR closed loop control systems? Give reason.
Question 4
In the design of an autonomous drone delivery system, how would you define a control system
and transfer functions? Additionally, explain the information transfer functions provide, their
advantages in such a scenario, and why negative feedback is typically preferred in control systems
for stability and performance. Additionally explain the components of a block diagram and SFG.
