Exercises #5 – Block Diagram Reduction


Use the block diagram reduction technique to find the transfer functions associated with each block diagram.

Note: The purpose of practicing block diagram reduction is to become confident in reading and understanding
the details of block diagrams. Why is that important? Each diagram provides a visual representation of a set of
equations that together are intended to model the behavior of a system. Understanding the details of the block
diagram gives the analyst confidence that the block diagram is an accurate representation of the system.
