Time Domain Analysis GATE Questions

The document consists of a series of GATE-level questions focused on time domain analysis of second-order and first-order systems, including calculations for damping ratio, natural frequency, peak time, overshoot, settling time, rise time, and steady-state error. It also explores the effects of system gain on various time-domain specifications and the characteristics of underdamped, overdamped, and critically damped systems. The questions require an understanding of control system dynamics and the application of relevant formulas.
