K limiting disturbance effect to 2%
Short answer
The steady-state output from the disturbance is c_ss = 3d/(1+1.5K). Setting this to 0.02d gives K >= 99.33, so choose K = 100 to limit it to 2%.
The system below shows a potential tracking problem with the reference input r(t) and disturbance d(t). What value of K will limit the steady state component of c(t) due to d(t) to 2% of d(t)? [Figure: r(t) → summing point (+, −) → 5K/(s+10) → summing point (+, + with disturbance d(t)) → 6/(s+2) → c(t); unity feedback from c(t) to the first summing point (−)]
With , the output due to disturbance is found from the loop with forward and in feedback; then the final value theorem gives its steady state.
