Final answer:
To determine the steady-state error ess due to a unit step input, calculate the closed-loop transfer function and use the final value theorem.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to determine the steady-state error ess due to a unit step input for the given system, we need to calculate the closed-loop transfer function (T(s)) and then find the value of ess using the final value theorem.
First, let's calculate the closed-loop transfer function using the given equations:
T(s) = kc * g(s) = [(s + zc) / (s + pc)] * [(0.4s + 0.8)(s + 14) / (s + pc)]
Once we have the closed-loop transfer function T(s), we can then find the steady-state error ess using the final value theorem:
ess = lim(s→0) s * T(s) = lim(s→0) s * [(s + zc) / (s + pc)] * [(0.4s + 0.8)(s + 14) / (s + pc)]
