The characteristic equation of a feedback control system is $$$s^4+20s^3+15s^2+2s+K\;=\;0$$$
(i) Determine the range of K for the system to be stable.
(ii) Can the system be marginally stable? If so, find the required value of K and the frequency of sustained oscillation.

Consider a feedback control system with loop transfer function $$$G\left(s\right)H\left(s\right)=\frac{K\left(1+0.5s\right)}{s\left(1+s\right)\left(1+2s\right)}$$$ The type of the closed loop system is

The open loop transfer function of a unity feedback open-loop system is $$\frac{2s^2+6s+5}{\left(s+1\right)^2\left(s+2\right)}$$. The characteristic equation of the closed loop system is

The transfer function of a tachometer is of the form
