Question
A system with the open loop transfer function is connected in a negative feedback configuration with a feedback gain of unity. For the closed loop system to be marginally stable, the value of K is ______
Correct answer
5 to 5
Solution
Step 1: Determine the characteristic equation of the closed-loop system.Step 2: Construct the Routh array.
Step 3: For marginal stability, the row must be zero.Thus, the value of for marginal stability is 5.
| Row | Col 1 | Col 2 | Col 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 6 | K | |
| 4 | 4 | 0 | |
| K | 0 | ||
| 0 | 0 | ||
| K | 0 | 0 |
