For the given SFG, we have two forward paths
Pk1 = ^1 h^s-1h^s-1h^1 h = s-2
Pk2 = ^1 h^s-1h^1 h^1 h = s-1
since, all the loops are touching to both the paths Pk1 and Pk2 so,
Dk 1 = Dk 2 = 1

L 4 = ^- 2h^s-1h^1 h =- 2s-1
As all the loop L1, L2, L 3 and L 4 are touching to each other so,
D = 1 - ^L1 + L2 + L 3 + L 4h

Comparing with standard form of transfer function, Ae-t/t , we get the open

H ^s h =
1 + G ^s h 1 + 10s + 10Ka
Ka

By taking inverse laplace transform, we get
h ^ t h = ka .e-^k + ht
So, the time constant of closed loop system is obtained as
tcl = 1 1

(approximately)
tcl = 1

Since initial slope of the bode plot is - 40 dB/decade, so no. of poles at origin is 2.
Transfer function can be written in following steps:
1. Slope changes from - 40 dB/dec. to - 60 dB/dec. at w1 = 2 rad/sec., so at
w1 there is a pole in the transfer function.
2. Slope changes from - 60 dB/dec to - 40 dB/dec at w2 = 5 rad/sec., so at
this frequency there is a zero lying in the system function.
3. The slope changes from - 40 dB/dec to - 60 dB/dec at w3 = 25 rad/sec, so
there is a pole in the system at this frequency.
