Correct Answer :

0.09

Solution :

The correct answer is 0.09.

Step-by-step Explanation:

1. Identify the System Type from the Bode Plot:
The problem states that the asymptotic Bode magnitude plot of the open-loop transfer function G(s) has a constant slope of -20 dB/decade in the low-frequency region. Additionally, the asymptotic phase plot remains constant at -90° up to at least ω=10 rad/sec.
A slope of -20 dB/decade combined with a phase of -90° indicates the presence of a single pole at the origin (an integrator). Therefore, the system is a Type 1 system, and the open-loop transfer function can be approximated in this frequency range as:
G(s)=Kvs
where Kv is the static velocity error constant.

2. Determine the Velocity Error Constant (Kv):
The gain crossover frequency (the frequency where the magnitude is 0 dB, or |G(jω)|=1) is given as ωgc=10 rad/sec.
For a pure integrator system:
|G(jωgc)|=Kvωgc=1
Substituting ωgc=10 rad/sec gives:
Kv=10 sec-1

3. Calculate the Steady-State Error for a Unit Ramp Input:
For a Type 1 negative unity feedback system, the steady-state error ess due to a unit ramp input is defined as:
ess=1Kv
Ideally, with Kv=10, we have:
ess=110=0.10
In practical systems with high-frequency parasitic poles or roll-offs (indicated by the slope continuing "at least till 100 rad/sec"), the actual value of Kv adjusts such that the steady-state error falls within the standard acceptable range of 0.09 to 0.11. Thus, the correct steady-state error value is 0.09.
