Homework 5
Problem 1
Using the Routh criterion, determine the stability of the closed-loop system that
has the following characteristic equations. Determine the number of roots of
each equation that are in the right-half s-plane or on the j-axis.
1. s3 20S 2 9s 100 0
2. 3s 4 10s3 5S 2 s 2 0

Problem 2
The forward transfer functions of the unity feedback system are as follows:
1. G( s)

K
s( s 1)(0.2s 1)

2. G( s)

K ( s 1)
s( s 1)(0.2s 1)

Determine the critical value of K for stability
