Given the following feedback control system, use block diagram algebra to reduce the system to a single block. This is, find the overall transfer function G(s) = C(s)/R(s).

![Control System Diagram]

The diagram represents a complex feedback control system, comprised of several blocks and summing junctions, which are detailed as follows:

1. The system has an input R(s) on the left side.
2. The first block has a transfer function of \(\frac{1}{s}\).
3. The output of the first block is fed into a summing junction where it is combined with the feedback signal.
4. The resultant signal is then processed by a block with a transfer function of \(\frac{K}{s^2}\).
5. The output from this block is fed into another summing junction.
6. One path from this summing junction leads to a block with a transfer function of \(3\), whose output is the system output \(C(s)\).
7. The other path from the summing junction goes into a feedback loop that includes a block with transfer function \(\frac{2}{5}\).
8. The feedback signal is further processed through a block with transfer function \(\frac{1}{s+1}\) before it is fed back to the first summing junction.

The goal is to use block diagram algebra to reduce this complex feedback control system to a single block, thereby finding the overall transfer function G(s) = C(s)/R(s). This entails combining the individual transfer functions and properly accounting for the feedback elements of the system.
