If
and
, then from the correct free body diagram of the two masses, the sum of forces can be written as follow:
Combining the kinematics and these two equations of motion into a single matrix equation yields

From here, you should be able to rewrite the matrix equation into the state-space model with A, B, C, D matrices. In Simulink, you can implement the linear state-space system using the state-space block.
