Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) : Automatic Control Systems - Quiz(MCQ)
If s^3 + Ks^2 + 5s + 10 = 0, the root of the feedback system's characteristic equation is said to be critically stable. Then, the value of K will be:
A)
1
B)
2
C)
3
D)
4

Correct Answer : Option (B) :   2


Explanation : For the above equation, we need to find the roots by creating the Routh's array table. The given equation is: s^3 + Ks^2 + 5s + 10

The table is given below:



For the system to be critically stable, we will put (5K -10)/K = 0

5K - 10 = 0

5K = 10

K = 2

The value of K for which the system is said to be critically stable is 2.
