For I1 can I use 10V or do I need to find V1 by using the current I found? Also, to find Req for the other resistors do I need to add the 10 ohm and 5 ohm resistors and then solve the Req using the two parallel?
We've learned Kirchhoff's laws.
In this picture it has the spring scale with 200 g weight attached. The f normal is the 200 g weight and the f applied is the force it takes to move the weight across the table which shows on the spring scale reading.
We used the spring scale and pulled the weights with our hands. We measured f applied from the spring scale reading and we measured f normal from the weights connected to the spring scale. The independent variable was the fnormal or the weights.
