CALCULATIONS

Location of closed loop poles at k= 0.23:

s=-0.6414 at a frequency of 0.6414 rad/s

s=-0.3587 at a frequency of 0.3587

Location of closed loop poles at k= 500:

s=-0.5±22.4 at a frequency of 22.4 rad/s

Values of K at s = -0.5 - j0.58

𝑠2 + 𝑠 + 𝐾 = 0
𝐾 = −𝑠 2 − 𝑠
𝐾 = (−0.5 − j0.58 )2 − (−0.5 − j0.58)

𝐾 = 0.5864
Values of K at s = -0.9

𝐾 = −(−0.9)2 − (−0.9)
𝐾 = 1.7100

Values of s at K = 0.25

𝑠 = −0.5
Values of s at K = 1000

𝑠2 + 𝑠 + 𝐾 = 0
𝑠 = −0.5000 − 𝑗31.6188 and 𝑠 = −0.5000 + 𝑗31.6188
