Design 12V DC Car Electric Circuit: 2 Headlights, 2 Taillights, Wiper Motor

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on designing a reliable 12V DC circuit for a car, incorporating two headlights and two taillights, each with a shared fuse, along with a windshield wiper motor that has its own fuse. Users emphasize the importance of providing a design outline and directions rather than expecting others to complete the work. There is a call for participants to share their progress to facilitate collaborative problem-solving. The need for clarity and structure in the design is highlighted to ensure functionality and safety. Overall, the thread encourages active participation and mutual assistance in tackling the circuit design challenge.

Objective: Design a dependable electric circuit for a 12-volt direct current automobile electrical system. The circuit must include the following:
*Two headlights which have one fuse
*Two taillights which have one fuse
*A windshield wiper motor with its own fuse
*A switch that operates all the lights
*A switch that operates the wiper motor

sorry I'm new to these forums, the lab is just really random we haven't got much to look back at to figure this out. If you could figure this out and leave directions for the design I would very much appreciate it, thank you.

I'm not trying to be mean, but this forum is not about having other people do your work. If you are stuck on something, then show us the work you've done so far, and we can help you figure it out.
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
