Control system miscellaneous

  1. The characteristic equation of a feedback control system is given by
    s3 + 5s2 + (K + 6) s + K = 0
    where K > 0 is a scaler variable parameter. In the root-loci diagram of the system, the asymptotes of the root-locus for large values of K meet at a point in the s-plane, whose coordinates are
    1. (– 3, 0)
    2. (– 2, 0)
    3. (– 1, 0)
    4. (2, 0)
Correct Option: B

Given : s3 + 5s2 + (K + 6)s + K = 0
Root locus-asymptotes meet at
s 3 + 5s 2 + 6s + K(s + 1) = 0

⇒ 1 +
K(s + 1)
= 0
s(s + 2)(s + 3)

⇒ σA =
(0 - 2 - 3) + 1
= - 2
3 - 1
