Question 1 Explanation:
Reduced the block diagram:

Transfer function,
\frac{C(s)}{R(s)}=\frac{100/(s(s+10))}{1+(100/s(s+10))}=\frac{100}{s^2+10s+100}
Standard form,
T.F.=\frac{\omega _n^2}{s^2+2\xi \omega _ns+\omega _n^2}
On comparison : \omega =\sqrt{100}=10rad/sec and 2\xi \omega _n=10
\Rightarrow \xi=\frac{10}{2 \times 10}=0.5

Question 2 Explanation:
Given: P = 1 (Because, Nyquist contour encircle one
pole i.e s = 0)
We have, N = P - Z
N = 1-Z
Characteristic equation
\begin{aligned} 1+G(s)H(s) &=0 \\ 1+\frac{k}{s(s+1)}&=0 \\ s^2+s+k&= 0 \end{aligned}
R-H criteria:
\left.\begin{matrix} s^2\\ s^1\\ s^0 \end{matrix}\right| \begin{matrix} 1 & k\\ 1 & 0\\ k & \end{matrix}
Hence, z = 0 (because no sign change in first column of R-H criteria)
(where, z = closed loop pole on RHS side of s-plane)
Therefore, N = 1
We have, N = P - Z
N = 1-Z
Characteristic equation
\begin{aligned} 1+G(s)H(s) &=0 \\ 1+\frac{k}{s(s+1)}&=0 \\ s^2+s+k&= 0 \end{aligned}
R-H criteria:
\left.\begin{matrix} s^2\\ s^1\\ s^0 \end{matrix}\right| \begin{matrix} 1 & k\\ 1 & 0\\ k & \end{matrix}

We knaow, y(t)=A|G(j\omega ) \sin (\omega t+\phi )
Here, G(j\omega )=\frac{100}{-\omega ^2+j0.1\omega +100}
Put \omega =0
|G(j\omega )|=1
Now, put \omega =10 rad/sec
|G(j\omega )|=\left | \frac{100}{-100+i1+100} \right |=100
Therefore, y(t)=1+0.1 \times 100 \sin(10t+\theta ) =1+10 \sin (10t+\theta )
On comparision : a=1 ,b=10
Here, G(j\omega )=\frac{100}{-\omega ^2+j0.1\omega +100}
Put \omega =0
|G(j\omega )|=1
Now, put \omega =10 rad/sec
|G(j\omega )|=\left | \frac{100}{-100+i1+100} \right |=100
Therefore, y(t)=1+0.1 \times 100 \sin(10t+\theta ) =1+10 \sin (10t+\theta )
On comparision : a=1 ,b=10
