Question 2: An approximation of a short-period mode is given in the state space form as follows: Za uo = Aq Mo + Ma uo a). Determine the numerical value of the state matrix for the short-period mode approximation. b). Find the eigenvalues of the state matrix found in part a). Do these eigenvalues agree with the result found in Question 1? c). Calculate the frequency and the damping ratio of the short-period mode dynamics
