🔑:## Step 1: Identify the form of the transfer functionThe given transfer function is F(s) = s + 2(s + 1)^3. To analyze the root locus, we need to express it in a form that reveals its poles and zeros. The function can be seen as having a zero at s = 0 (from the term s) and a pole of multiplicity 3 at s = -1 (from the term 2(s + 1)^3).## Step 2: Determine the centroidThe centroid of the root locus is the average of the poles and zeros of the system, weighted by their multiplicity. For the given transfer function, the poles are at s = -1 with multiplicity 3, and there is a zero at s = 0. The centroid (σ) can be calculated using the formula: σ = (Σ poles - Σ zeros) / (number of poles - number of zeros). Here, σ = (-1*3 - 0*1) / (3 - 1) = -3 / 2 = -1.5.## Step 3: Calculate the breakaway pointsBreakaway points occur where the root locus leaves the real axis. For a pole of multiplicity n, the breakaway point can be found by considering the behavior of the function as it approaches the pole from the left and the right. However, for this specific problem, since we have a pole of multiplicity 3 at s = -1, and given the nature of the function, we expect the root locus to break away from the real axis at points that satisfy specific conditions related to the function's derivative. The exact calculation of breakaway points for higher-order poles involves more complex analysis, including considering the angles of departure and arrival, but a key point is that for a third-order pole, the root locus will have a specific behavior around the pole.## Step 4: Determine the relative degreeThe relative degree of a transfer function is the difference between the degree of the denominator and the degree of the numerator. In F(s) = s + 2(s + 1)^3, the degree of the numerator is 1 (from s), and the degree of the denominator, when considering the expansion of (s + 1)^3, is 3. Thus, the relative degree is 3 - 1 = 2.## Step 5: Calculate the asymptote anglesFor a system with a relative degree greater than 0, the asymptotes of the root locus can be found. The angles of the asymptotes (θ) are given by θ = (2k + 1) * 180 / (number of poles - number of zeros), where k is an integer (0, ±1, ±2, ...). Here, with 3 poles and 1 zero, the formula simplifies to θ = (2k + 1) * 180 / 2. For k = 0, θ = 90 degrees; for k = 1, θ = 270 degrees. These angles are measured from the positive real axis in a counterclockwise direction.## Step 6: Draw the asymptotesThe asymptotes are lines that the root locus approaches as the gain of the system increases. Given the angles calculated, one asymptote is at 90 degrees (straight up the imaginary axis), and the other is at 270 degrees (straight down the imaginary axis), both intersecting at the centroid (s = -1.5).## Step 7: Sketch the root locusThe root locus starts at the poles (s = -1) and moves towards the asymptotes as the gain increases. Given the pole at s = -1 and the behavior of the function, the root locus will have a branch that moves from the pole towards the asymptotes, with the exact path depending on the specific dynamics of the system, including any breakaway points.The final answer is: boxed{s = -1}

🔑:## Step 1: Understand the initial setup and charges on the platesWe are given three large plates with specific charges. To solve this, we need to understand how charges distribute on conductors and how they affect the electric field and potential. Initially, we have charges q_1, q_2, and q_3 on plates 1, 2, and 3, respectively.## Step 2: Apply Gauss's theorem to find the electric fieldGauss's theorem states that the total electric flux through a closed surface is proportional to the charge enclosed within that surface. For a large plate, we can consider a Gaussian surface that is a pillbox (or a small cylinder) with one end on each side of the plate. The electric field (E) due to a charge distribution on a plate is given by E = sigma / 2epsilon_0, where sigma is the surface charge density and epsilon_0 is the permittivity of free space.## Step 3: Analyze the potential differences between the platesWhen the key 'K' is closed, charge will flow until the potential difference between the plates is zero. The potential difference between two points is given by the line integral of the electric field along any path between those points. For a conductor, the potential is constant across the conductor when it is in equilibrium.## Step 4: Determine the charge flow when the key 'K' is closedWhen 'K' is closed, the system will reach equilibrium, meaning the potential across all connected conductors will be the same. Since the plates are large and the charges are given, we can assume that the charge will distribute evenly across the plates and the connecting wires when 'K' is closed. The total charge of the system remains q_1 + q_2 + q_3. The charge will redistribute so that the potential of all plates is the same.## Step 5: Calculate the final charge distribution and flowAssuming the capacitance between each plate and the others is the same (due to their large size and equal spacing), the charge will distribute so that each plate has an equal charge, which is the average of the initial charges: (q_1 + q_2 + q_3) / 3. The charge that flows through 'K' will be the difference between the final charge on each plate and its initial charge.The final answer is: boxed{0}

🔑:## Step 1: Understand the scenarioA fluid enters a pipe with a velocity of 5 m/s. The pipe has a diameter of 0.1 m and then bends at a 90-degree angle. We need to consider how forces appear on the pipe due to the fluid flow.## Step 2: Apply the principle of linear momentumThe principle of linear momentum states that the net force acting on an object is equal to the rate of change of its momentum. For a fluid flowing through a pipe, the momentum of the fluid changes as it bends, resulting in a force exerted on the pipe.## Step 3: Determine the direction of the forceAs the fluid bends at a 90-degree angle, its momentum changes direction. According to Newton's second law, a force is required to change the momentum of an object. This force acts in the direction of the change in momentum, which is perpendicular to the original direction of flow.## Step 4: Calculate the force (Conceptual understanding, not numerical calculation)The force exerted on the pipe can be understood conceptually using the formula F = (m * Δv) / Δt, where F is the force, m is the mass of the fluid, Δv is the change in velocity, and Δt is the time over which the change occurs. However, without specific details on the mass flow rate or the exact geometry, we focus on the conceptual understanding that a force is exerted due to the change in momentum.## Step 5: Consider fluid dynamics principlesIn fluid dynamics, the force exerted on a bend in a pipe is also related to the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the bend. The fluid's velocity and the resulting pressure distribution around the bend contribute to the overall force experienced by the pipe.## Step 6: Free body diagram descriptionA free body diagram of the pipe would show the pipe itself with forces acting upon it. These forces include the weight of the pipe (acting downward), the reaction forces from the supports or the ground (acting upward and possibly laterally, depending on how the pipe is supported), and the forces due to the fluid flow. The force due to the fluid flow would act in the direction of the change in momentum, which, for a 90-degree bend, would be perpendicular to the original direction of the fluid flow.The final answer is: boxed{F = frac{m cdot Delta v}{Delta t}}
