a. A hard disk drive (HDD) is an electro-mechanical data storage device that stores and retrieves digital data using magnetic storage and one or more rigid rapidly rotating platters coated with magnetic material. Figure 1 shows a simplified block diagram of a HDD. For analysis purposes, given gain K=30 and G(s) = sst, determine the open- S[S+4) loop and closed loop poles of the HDD and plot these separately in the S-Plane. Also discuss the stability using two different approaches.
