AI Thread Summary

Applying Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) around the entire circuit or using mesh analysis for individual loops are both valid approaches for circuit analysis. However, many participants in the discussion favor using Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) at each node for its straightforwardness. The request for KCL equations indicates a preference for this method, emphasizing clarity in circuit analysis. Overall, KCL is highlighted as an effective strategy for solving electrical circuits. Utilizing KCL can simplify the process and enhance understanding of current distribution in the circuit.

For this question I was thinking about doing KVL around the entire circuit, or do Mesh in the individual loops. Any suggestions?

I prefer to just write the KCL at each node. Can you write out the KCL equations for us?

I must agree with berkeman, KCL is the way to go. ;)

Thread 'How Do I Draw This Shear and Moment Diagram?'

Hi everyone, Can anyone tell me how do I draw the shear and moment diagram of below pic using the method like below pic? This is my attempt/work of the reacting forces: Thank you very much for the help.
