An automatically guided vehicle on Mars is represented by the system in Figure DP6.2. The system has a steerable wheel in both the front and back of the vehicle, and the design requires that H(s) = Ks + 1. Determine
(a) The value of K required for stability,
(b) The value of K when one root of the characteristic equation is equal to s = -5, and
(c) The value of the two remaining roots for the gain selected in part (b).
(d) Find the response of the system to a step command for the gain selected in part (b).
