You have 2 hours to complete this exam. INSTRUCTIONS 2. This is a closed book exam. You may use one 8.5 11 note sheet. 3. Calculators are allowed. 4. Solve each part of the problem in the space following the question. If you need more space, continue your solution on the reverse side labeling the page with the question number; for example, Problem 1.2 Continued. NO credit will be given to solutions that do not meet this requirement. 5. DO NOT REMOVE ANY PAGES FROM THIS EXAM. Loose papers will not be accepted and a grade of ZERO will be assigned. 6. The quality of your analysis and evaluation is as important as your answers. Your reasoning must be precise and clear; your complete English sentences should convey what you are doing. To receive credit, you must show your work. 1

Problem 3: (25 Points) The root locus for the closed-loop system in Figure 4 is shown in Figure 5 as the compensator gain K is varied from zero towards infinity.

2. (18 points) Once again consider the control system in Figure 4, and whose root locus is shown again in Figure 6. Ignoring the effect of the zeros, an engineer chooses the value of K so that the location of the complex conjugate poles yields a settling time 9.2 sec. 1.5 Root Locus 1 0.5 Imaginary Axis 0 0.5 1 1.5 2.5 2 1.5 1 0.5 0 0.5 1 1.5 Real Axis Figure 6: Root locus as the proportional gain K is varied from zero towards infinity.

Problem 4: (25 Points) 1. (18 points) Consider the closed-loop system in Figure 7 where Gp(s) = s + 2 3 s 2 (s + 6) Figure 7: Closed-loop system with proportional control gain K. Neatly sketch by hand root locus in Figure 8 as the proportional gain is varied from zero towards infinity. Be sure to specify breakaway and breakin points, the gain at the breakaway and breakin points, asymptotes, arrival and departure angles, and imaginary-axis crossings, if any.
