E6.22 A system has the characteristic equation
q( s) s 3 + 10 s 2 + 29 s + K 0
Shift the vertical axis to the right by 2 by using s = sn - 2, and determine
the value of gain K so that the complex roots are s = -2 ±j.

s ( s + 10 )
and the feedback transfer function is H(s) = l/(s + 20).
(a) Determine the limiting value of gain K for a stable system.
(b) For the gain that results in marginal stability, determine the magnitude
of the imaginary roots.
(c) Reduce the gain to half the magnitude of the marginal value and
determine the relative stability of the system (1) by shifting the axis and
using the Routh-Hurwitz criterion and (2) by determining the root
locations. Show the roots are between -1 and -2.
