Introduction to Control Systems
There are, in general, no unique solutions to the following exercises and
problems. Other equally valid block diagrams may be submitted by the
student.

E1.3 Although the principle of conservation of momentum explains much of
the process of fly-casting, there does not exist a comprehensive scientific
explanation of how a fly-fisher uses the small backward and forward mo-
tion of the fly rod to cast an almost weightless fly lure long distances (the

current world-record is 236 ft). The fly lure is attached to a short invisible
leader about 15-ft long, which is in turn attached to a longer and thicker
Dacron line. The objective is cast the fly lure to a distant spot with dead-
eye accuracy so that the thicker part of the line touches the water first
and then the fly gently settles on the water just as an insect might.
