ROBT303 Linear Control Theory with Laboratory

Homework 3

Sketch the root-locus plot for the following systems, assuming that Gc (s) = k and we have the standard
closed-loop system with unity negative feedback. For each case, plot the Root locus using Matlab and
compare them with your results. Determine the values of k for which the closed loop system is stable.
