Root locus plot- TUTORIAL Sheet

Q1-Sketch the root locus plot for the system given below with K as a variable parameter and show that
the loci of complex roots are part of a circle with(-1,0) as center radius=√2. Is the system stable for all
values of K? if not, determine the range of k for stable system operation. Find also the marginal value of
K which causes sustained oscillation and the frequency of these oscillations. From the root locus plot,
determine the value of K such that the resulting system has a settling time of 4 seconds. What are the
corresponding values of the roots?
