Control system miscellaneous

  1. In the root-locus for open-loop transfer function
    G(s) H(s) =
    K(s + 6)
    (s + 3)(s + 5)

    The ‘break away’ and ‘break-in’, points are located respectively at
    1. – 2 and – 1
    2. – 2.47 and – 3.77
    3. – 4.27 and – 7.23
    4. – 7.73 and – 4.27
Correct Option: D

Both the answers (c) and (d) are idential. The breakaway and breakin points on the root locus for which loop transfer function is G (s) H (s) are obtained as a solution of equation

d
G(s) H(s) = 0
ds

⇒ (s + 6) (2s + 8) – (s2 + 8s + 15) = 0
⇒ 2s2 + 20s + 48 – s2 – 8s + 15 = 0
⇒ s2 + 12s + 33 = 0
∴ s = – 7.73 and – 4.27
