1.

Consider the characteristic polynomial, Determine the range of the gain K that for which
the system is stable.

Ans: the system is unstable for all values of gain K.

1. Consider a third-order system with the characteristic polynomial

Determine the range of the gain K that for which the system is stable.

 Ans: the system is 0 < K < 8.

2. For the closed loop control system

shown, find TcL, the char. Equ. And
find the range of K for whcich the
system is stable.

 Ans: RH Table is shown below, test yourself how to get this table, and find the
conditions for stability.

3. Designers have developed small, fast, vertical-takeoff fighter aircraft that are invisible to radar
(stealth aircraft). This aircraft concept uses quickly turning jet nozzles to steer the airplane [16].
The control system for the heading or direction control is shown in Figure E6.8. Determine the
maximum gain of the system for stable operation.
