All answers must be written in ink. Pencils may only be used for drawing, sketching or
graphical work.
Question 1
PSfrag replacements

G(s)

Figure 1: The control system for Question 1.

In the control system shown in Figure 1,
G(s) =

1
(s + 3)3

and K > 0 is a gain parameter.

(a) For the case of K = 1, determine the steady state error for this control system when the
input is
(i) a unit step;
(ii) a unit ramp.
(b) For the case of K = 1, determine the phase margin and gain margin of the system.
(c) For the case of K = 1000, determine whether the closed look system is stable.

Question 2
PSfrag replacements

G(s)

Figure 2: The control system for Question 2.

(a) For the system in Figure 2 draw a root-locus diagram if

G(s) =

(5s + 1)
,
s2 (s + 1)

K > 0.

A clear derivation of the asymptotes, departure angles, and other relevant details must be
shown.
(b) Determine, whether the closed loop system is stable for all K > 0.
