where U (s) is the Laplace transform of u(t), the controller output, and E(s) the Laplace transform
of e(t), the actuating error signal. Sketch u(t)-versus- t curves for each of the five types of controllers
when the actuating error signal is (a) e(t) = unit-step function (b) e(t) = unit-ramp function
In sketching curves, assume that the numerical values of Kp , Ki , Ti , and Td are given as

Kp = proportional gain = 4
Ki = integral gain = 2
Ti = integral time = 2 sec
Td = derivative time = 0.8 sec
