atleast 33 degrees and velocity error constant, K V =30. Design a phase lag
series compensator.

transfer function, G(S) =K/S(S+1) (S+5) to satisfy the following specifications
(i) Velocity error constant, KV>=50 (ii) Phase margin is >= 20.

100/(s+1) (s+2) (s+3). Design a PID Controller, so that the phase margin of
the system is 45 degrees at a frequency of 4rad/sec and steady state error
for unit ramp input is 0.1.
