Question 1:
a) Construct the root-locus for the K > 0 for the transfer function

GH = K / [s(s+1)(s^2+7s+12)

b) If the design value for the gain is K = 6, calculate the gain margin.

c) Determine the value of the gain factor K for which the system with the above open loop transfer has closed loop poles with a damping ratio of 0.5.

Question 2:
a) Figure 2 models a pressure control system with a plant G = 1{(s+1)(s+3)] consisting of twwo lags, and PI control Gc = K(s+2)/s.
i) Sketch the loci of the closed-loop system poles for varying K.
ii) Find, reasonably accurately, the value of K for a damping ratio 0.5 for the dominating poles.

b) Plot the root loci for a system with the loop gain function (i.e. open loop transfer function).

K/[(s+2)(s+6)(s^2 + 8s + 20)

and find the limiting value of K for stability.
