Consider a hypothetical rotating machine, whose angular position varies as follows:
In the above equation, and are the input and output torques, is a damping parameter, is the machine's reference speed, and is the machine's moment of inertia.
Initially, the input and output torques are at their nominal values, and the machine rotates at the reference speed.
Then, the output torque increases to of its nominal value, and the machine approaches a new steady-state speed.
How many below the reference speed is the new steady-state speed?
Nominal Parameter Values:

The machine asymptotically approaches a new steady-state, in which θ ¨ = 0 . In the limit:
τ i n − τ o u t − α ( θ ˙ − θ ˙ r e f ) = I θ ¨ 1 0 − 1 5 − 3 ( θ ˙ − θ ˙ r e f ) = 0 θ ˙ − θ ˙ r e f = − 3 5
Thus, the new steady-state speed is approximately 1.667 rad/s slower than the reference speed.
