The response of two tanks of same size and resistance in series is __________________?

Correct answer: B. Critically damped

  • A. Under damped
  • B. Critically damped
  • C. Over damped
  • D. None of the above

Explanation

Two identical non-interacting tanks in series give a denominator proportional to (τs + 1)², which has two equal real poles. In the standard second-order form this corresponds to a damping ratio of one, or critical damping.
