The Nyquist plot for the open-loop transfer function G(s) of a unity negative feedback system is shown in figure. if G(s) has no pole in the right half of s-plane, the number of roots of the system characteristic equation in the right half of s-plane is

The open-loop DC gain of a unity negative feedback system with closed-loop transfer function $${{s + 4} \over {{s^2} + 7s + 13}}$$ is

For the feedback control system shown in the figure, the process transfer function is G_p(s) = $${1 \over {s(s + 1)}},$$ and the amplification factor of the Power amplifier is K$$ \ge $$0. The design specifications required for the system, time constant is 1 sec and a damping ratio of 0.707.
(a) Find the desired location of the closed loop poles.
(b) Write down the requiredcharacteristic equation for the system. Hense determine the PD controller transfer function G_p(s) when K = 1.
(c) Sketch the root-locus for the system.
