A unity feedback system has open loop transfer function $$G\left( s \right) = {{K\left( {s + 5} \right)} \over {s\left( {s + 2} \right)}};K \ge 0$$
(a) Draw a rough sketch of the root locus plot; given that the complex roots ofthe characteristic equation move along a circle.
(b) As K increases, does the system become less stable? Justify your answer.
(c) Find the value of $$K$$ (if it exists) so that the damping $$\xi $$ of the complex closed loop poles is $$0.3.$$

A unity feedback system has open loop transfer function $$G(s).$$ The steady-state error is zero for

$$D\left( s \right) = {{\left( {0.5s + 1} \right)} \over {\left( {0.05s + 1} \right)}}$$ Maximum phase lead of the compensator is

Consider the state equation $$\mathop X\limits^ \bullet \left( t \right) = Ax\left( t \right)$$
Given : $${e^{AT}} = \left[ {\matrix{ {{e^{ - t}} + t{e^{ - t}}} & {t{e^{ - t}}} \cr { - t{e^{ - t}}} & {{e^{ - t}} - t{e^{ - t}}} \cr } } \right]$$

(a) Find a set of states $${x_1}\left( 1 \right)$$ and $${x_2}\left( 1 \right)$$ such that $${x_1}\left( 2 \right) = 2.$$
(b) Show that $$\,{\left( {s{\rm I} - A} \right)^{ - t}} = \Phi \left( s \right) = {1 \over \Delta }\left[ {\matrix{ {s + 2} & 1 \cr { - 1} & s \cr } } \right];$$ $$\Delta = {\left( {s + 1} \right)^2}$$
(c) From $$\Phi \left( s \right),$$ find the matrix $$A$$.
