Engineering Circuit analysis on a supernode

Click For Summary
To find the value of vx within a supernode, it's essential to apply Kirchhoff's laws to establish a set of equations. The discussion emphasizes the importance of showing your work to receive more targeted assistance. Clarification on the term "m" indicates it refers to milli, or 10^-3. Participants suggest utilizing resources like Khan Academy for additional guidance on circuit analysis. Engaging with the community by sharing your progress is crucial for effective support.

Homework Statement
Find Vx given:
R1 = 6kW; R2 = 6kW;
R3 = 2kW; R4 = 3kW;
VS = 5V; IS = 5mA
Relevant Equations
V=IR
Hello.
Can someone give m e pointers on how to find the value of vx given that it is inside a supernode(will it be the valueof the voltage inside or the difference of potential between the two nodes?): here's the exercise and what I've done so far attached.
Your time and attention are deeply appreciated.
Thank You.

I think you forgot to attach your work?
Anyway, you'll want to use Kirchhoff's laws to make a set of equations to solve.
Khan Academy has some good tutorials on this subject.
 
I'm missing something. What does the "m" stand for in this case?

OK, so you've got everything you need to write equations using Kirchoff, just as @DaveE said.

You HAVE to show some work before we can be any more help
 
Thread 'Why wasn’t gravity included in the potential energy for this problem?'
I’m looking at the attached vibration problem. The solution in the manual includes the spring potential energy but does NOT include the gravitational potential energy of the hanging mass. Can someone explain why gravitational potential energy is not included when deriving the equation of motion? I tried asking ChatGPT but kept going in circles and couldn't figure out. Thanks!
