A ship’s roll can be stabilized with a control system. A voltage applied to the fins’ actuators creates a roll torque that is applied to the ship. The ship, in response to the roll torque, yields a roll angle. Assuming the block diagram for the roll control system shown in Figure P10.12, determine the gain and phase margins for the system.
