Root Locus of Unity Feedback Transfer Function: Find K Range for Stability

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on obtaining MATLAB code to draw the root locus for a unity feedback transfer function characterized by the equation s^5 + 600s^4 + 50000s^3 + ks^2 + 24ks + 80k = 0. Participants seek guidance on determining the range of K that ensures system stability. The Control Toolbox's rlocus function is highlighted as a useful tool for this analysis, along with links to tutorials for its application. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the relationship between the parameter K and system stability in control theory. Overall, the thread aims to assist in visualizing and analyzing system behavior through root locus techniques.

I want a MATLAB code to draw the root locus for a characteristic equation of a transfer function of unity feedback, also what is the range of K that keeps the system stable , here is the characteristic equation:

s^5+600s^4+50000s^3+ks^2+24ks+80k=0
please help, thanks in previous

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'
Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
