The scanning mirror system in a barcode scanner can be simply modeled as a single DOF system, with a force input as shown in Figure 1.

Consider the system with the following system equation. Derive the state space equation for the system.
mx + cx + kx = ft
For the problems below, assuming m = 0.1 kg, k = 1, and c = 0.2 Ns/m:
b) Is the system stable? Why?
c) Is the system controllable? Why? Write down the controllability matrix.
d) Is the system observable? Why? Write down the observability matrix.
e) Place 3 poles as below and simulate the time response of the given dynamic system. P1 = -1 + 1i, P2 = -1 - 1i, P3 = -5.
f) Try to change the pole position and compare the simulation plot and discuss.
