Question
Obtain the transfer function of the block diagram below
The image depicts a block diagram representing a control system, with various transfer functions. Here's a detailed transcription and explanation:

1. **Inputs and Outputs:**
   - **R(s):** The input to the system.
   - **C(s):** The output of the system.

2. **Components and Connections:**
   - The input **R(s)** goes through a block with a gain of **4**.
   - A summation junction follows, where the output from the gain block is summed with feedback from the later stages of the system (negative feedback).
   - The result enters a block with the transfer function \(\frac{1}{s+1}\).
   - This output is then sent to another block with the transfer function \(\frac{s}{s^2+2}\).
   - It proceeds to a summation point where it is both added to a feedback loop and connected to the next block.
   - The subsequent block has a transfer function \(\frac{1}{s^2}\).
   - This is followed by another summation junction that adds feedback through a gain block of 50.
   - The system output is denoted by **C(s)**.

3. **Feedback Loops:**
   - A branch from the first summation junction sends the signal through a block with the transfer function \(\frac{4s+2}{s^2+2s+1}\), feeding back into the initial summation point.
   - Another feedback loop originates after the block with the transfer function \(\frac{s}{s^2+2}\), passing through a block with the transfer function \(\frac{s^2+2}{s^2+14}\) and returning to the second summation junction before the \(\frac{1}{s^2}\) block.

This diagram illustrates a complex feedback control system with nested feedback loops and distinct transfer functions that collectively determine the system's behavior.
