1.	The output in response to a unit step input for a particular continuous control system is c(t)= 1-e^-t. What is the delay time Td?(a) 0.36(b) 0.18(c) 0.693(d) 0.289The question was asked during an interview for a job.Question is from Time Response of Second Order Systems in section Time Response Analysis, Design Specifications and Performance Indices of Control Systems
Answer» CORRECT answer is (C) 0.693 Easiest explanation: The output is given as a function of time. The FINAL value of the output is LIMN->∞c(t)=1; . Hence Td (at 50% of the final value) is the solution of 0.5=1-e^-Td, and is equal to ln 2 or 0.693 sec.
