The loop transfer function of a negative feedback system is
G(s)H(s)=K(s+11)s(s+2)(s+8)
The value of K , for which the system is marginally stable is
Characteristic equation q(s) for the given open loop system will be
q(s)=s3+10s2+16s+Ks+11K=0
Using R-H criteria,
s3116+Ks21011Ks110(16+K)−11K100s011k0
For system to be marginally stable
10(16+K)−11K10=0
160+10K−11K=0
K=160
