Block Diagram Reduction Rules
Follow these rules for simplifying (reducing) the block diagram, which is having many blocks, summing points and
take-off points.
Rulle 3 − Check for the blocks connected in feedback loop and simplify.
Rulle 4 − If there is difficulty with take-off point while simplifying, shift it.
Rulle 5 − If there is difficulty with summing point while simplifying, shift it.

den_G1 = [1]
