Consider a negative gain root locus for L (s) = k (s-1)/[s(s^2 + 4s + 8)] with a scale of 20mm = 1 unit.
i. Graphically, find the gain required to give dominant closed loop poles with zeta = 0.5.
ii. For the above value of gain, find natural frequency and hence sketch the expected reference to output step response, assuming that the system is low-passing and dominantly second order.
iii. Add a sketch of the positive gain root locus to the diagram.
