For the system shown let Ds K Gs 1s24s3 and H 1 Draw by h

For the system shown, let D(s) = K, G(s) = 1/s^2+4s-3, and H = 1. Draw by hand the squareroot locus plot for this system as K ranges from 0 to infinity and determine for which values of K the system is stable. Verify your sketch using MATLAB. Take a screen shot of your plot and include your code.

Solution

In the toggle clamp shown, the force applied P is transferred through member BAE to cause a compressive force on the block at E. The pin at A was designed to carry a maximum resultant force of 300 N. Determine the maximum force P that can be applied on the clamp and the resulting compressive force at E.
