Error constants and K range for K/[s(s+1)(s²+2s+2)]
Short answer
Type 1 system: Kp=∞, Kv=K/2, Ka=0. For r(t)=10+50t, ess=100/K. ess<0.5 demands K>200, but Routh stability limits K to 0<K<2.22, so no K satisfies the error condition with a stable system.
The open loop transfer function of a unity feedback system is given by G(s) = K/[s(s+1)(s²+2s+2)]. Calculate the static error constants for this system and find the range of K if static error is less than 0.5 for input r(t) = 10 + 50t.
has one pole at the origin, so the system is Type 1: the step error is zero and the ramp error is .

For stability: and , so .
Answer: the error condition needs , but the system is stable only for . The two ranges do not overlap, so no value of K meets with a stable system. A compensator (for example lag compensation) is needed to raise without causing instability.
