ENGR202 (old spec) Control 3.3 Transfer Functions, exam question (1 mark) (slide 11)

The displacement xx represents the distance in metres from an arbitrary reference point. If the steady state gain of the mass-spring-damper system is 0.01 and a constant external force of 8 N is applied, what is the displacement xx at steady state? (1 mark)
