This video presents a different approach to finding the transfer function.  It develops the small blocks for the system from basic principles (e.g., Newton's second law, KVL, KCL).  In this second part the block diagrams is then simplified to find the final transfer function.  This diagram, is also suitable for insertion into a Simulink model as well.
