Sorry. I became confused. First order approximation does not mean a first order system.There becomes a certain point where engineers just do not care and have to chop the problem down to size. The first order approximation is probably the best model to work because it still is a third order system. Any higher modeling would mean that you would get a forth,fifth,sixth order system which is painfully hard to work with. I forgot what my engineering professor said tends to be the cutoff point in which you actually need to make the model simpler.
