Part (c)
The system has three closed loop poles, under the assumption of perfect
cancellation. Weknow where twoofthethree closed loop poles are, namely
at s = ;3 j3. The next task is to nd the third closed loop pole. The
root locus in Figure 3 shows where that third closed loop pole must be. One
waytond the pole is to searchalongthe real axis between s = ;10 and

The damped frequency is 2 r./s. and the damping ratio is
= cos[tan

(2=3)] = cos(33:69
)=0:83
Thus, a good guess at the time response is shown in Figure 5. The formula
for overshoot predicts less than 2% overshoot, but we knowfrom experience
that the formula is often too optimistic, so a good guess is 10%. The time
to peak should be
