7. (2pts) IDENTIFY it is a shorthand, pictorial representation of the
cause and effect relationship between the input and the output
of a physical system Block Diagram
8. (2pts) IDENTIFY it is the stimulus or excitation applied to a
control system from an external source, usually in order to
produce a specified response from the control system; it
represents a desired response Input
