2nd order System steady state error

[silentwf]

Homework Statement

The system's closed loop transfer function is given below, find K and \alpha such that the input R(s) = 1/s^2 has no steady state error. (Hint: the system is not a unit feedback system)

Homework Equations

not sure how many there are.

The Attempt at a Solution

So I made the system into a unit feedback system despite its hint...and it turned out..strange.
Another thing i don't understand is, with the conditions that the questions, i only get one equation to solve for k and \alpha, are there any others that i might be overlooking?

You used the wrong expression for the steady state error. You should have used the closed loop function and not the open loop G.
