QUESTION 1 a) Cruise control in a car is an example of a closed-loop system. Draw a simple block diagram of that system, similar to the one shown in Figure 1. Specify the physical input, the physical output, and a possible source of disturbance and noise. Also write down the physical devices that constitute the controller, the plant, and the sensor, but dont worry about writing any transfer functions! Discuss briefly (in one paragraph) how effective or ineffective the control system would be without feedback. (10 Marks)

QUESTION 2
The diagram for the pantograph and catenary coupling is shown in Figure 3, where the catenary is represented by the spring, Kave. Determine the transfer function, G(s) = Ycat(s) / Fup(s), where ycat(t) is the catenary displacement and fup(t) is the upward force applied to the pantograph under active control. (Please clearly the step by step answer). (25 Marks)
