A satellite attitude control system, as shown below, has a plant with transfer function: $ G(s) = \frac{1}{s^2}, $ cascaded with a compensator: $ C(s) = \frac{K(s + \alpha)}{s + 4}, $ where $ K $ and $ \alpha $ are positive real constants. In order for the closed-loop system to have poles at $ -1 \pm j\sqrt{3} $, the value of $ \alpha $ must be $\_\_\_\_\_$.
Here are two analogous groups, Group-I and Group-II, that list words in their decreasing order of intensity. Identify the missing word in Group-II.

A positive-edge-triggered sequential circuit is shown below. There are no timing violations in the circuit. Input \( P_0 \) is set to logic ‘0’ and \( P_1 \) is set to logic ‘1’ at all times. The timing diagram of the inputs \( SEL \) and \( S \) are also shown below. The sequence of output \( Y \) from time \( T_0 \) to \( T_3 \) is _________.

Consider a part of an electrical network as shown below. Some node voltages, and the current flowing through the \( 3\,\Omega \) resistor are as indicated.
