Solve
y + 2 y + y = 2u (t ) given: u(t) = sin(3t), y(0) = 1, y (0) = 2 . (You will get ZERO credit if
not using Laplace Transform)
1) Find the Laplace Transform of the output Y(s). In general, the output consists of the forced
response and the free (initial-condition) response, i.e. Y(s) = YF(s) + YIC(s). Please write
clearly what YF(s) and YIC(s) are respectively.
2) Based on the results in 1), use partial fraction expansion technique to find the time-domain
solution yF(t) and yIC(t), respectively. Then please give the total response y(t).
3) Please evaluate the expression of y(t) for very large t (i.e. t ).

and the laminar resistances are R1 and R2, respectively. The bottom areas of the tanks are A1
and A2.
2) Suppose the resistances are equal, i.e. R1 = R2 = R, and the bottom areas are equal, i.e. A1 =
A2 = A. Obtain the transfer function H2(s)/Qv(s).
3) Suppose the change in inflow rate qv follows a unit-step function. Find the steady-state
response for h2 using the Final Value Theorem.
