Cable reel control is important in the oil and gas industry, for example in offshore drilling. A cable reel system is depicted below:
The control block diagram of the cable reel drive system is shown below:

Measured velocity
Tachometer
In its stable operations, the system is required to have zero steady-state error between the cable's desired velocity r(t) and actual velocity v(t), given a unit step of the velocity reference. Choose the correct statement regarding accuracy and stability of the control system:
The tachometer feedback coefficient Kt should be less than and the amplifier gain Ka should be greater than 1.2.
The tachometer feedback coefficient Kt should be greater than and the amplifier gain Ka should be less than 1.2.
The tachometer feedback coefficient Kt can be any positive value and the amplifier gain Ka can be any positive value.
The tachometer feedback coefficient Kt can be any positive value and the amplifier gain Ka should be less than 0.6.
The tachometer feedback coefficient Kt should be 1 and the amplifier gain Ka should be less than 2.4.
