a) Write all necessary time domain equations by using node voltages as shown in the figure.
b) Obtain the equations found in part (a) in Laplace domain.
c) Find the transfer function, G (s ) = VL (s ) / V(s ) , for the circuit given above, where v L is the
voltage drop across the inductance L3 .
d) Draw the detailed block diagram of the system.

For the hybrid system shown above,
a) Complete the detailed block diagram given on the last page of this homework by filling in
the empty boxes and by expressing the physical meanings of Xi’s (i=1, 2,…8) on the
branches. Also provide a list containing the physical meanings of these Xi’s. Write all the
necessary equations required for the block diagram. Take patm as zero.
