Given: G(s) = K/ s(s+4)
Damping ratio, ζ = 0.5
We know that the damping ratio can be calculated as follows:
ζ = damping factor/undamped natural frequency
The undamped natural frequency, ωn can be calculated as:
ωn = √(k/m)
where m is the mass of the system.
In this case, we have a unity feedback system, which means that the transfer function of the system can be written as:
G(s) = K/ s(s+4)
The characteristic equation of the system can be written as:
s^2 + 4s + K = 0
Comparing this with the standard form of the characteristic equation:
s^2 + 2ζωns + ωn^2 = 0
We can see that:
2ζωn = 4
ωn^2 = K
Substituting ζ = 0.5, we get:
2 x 0.5 x ωn = 4
ωn = 4
ωn^2 = K
K = ωn^2 = 4^2 = 16
Therefore, the value of K for a damping ratio of 0.5 is 16.
