Correct Answer: 1.11 - 1.13
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Determine the gain crossover frequency. From the phase response table, identify the frequency at which the phase reaches \( -180^\circ + 50^\circ = -130^\circ \).
Step 2: Calculate the gain \( K_I \). Using the magnitude response at this frequency, calculate \( K_I \) to achieve the required phase margin: \[ K_I = 1.11 \, \text{to} \, 1.13. \]
