AI Thread Summary
To determine the voltage Vx and the power absorbed or supplied by each source, KVL (Kirchhoff's Voltage Law) is applied to the circuit. The discussion emphasizes that Vx is not a wire but part of a single loop circuit, which simplifies the analysis. The current Iba and voltage Vba can be derived by solving the KVL equation for the loop. The challenge lies in expressing the current in terms of voltage to substitute back into the KVL equation. Ultimately, applying KVL correctly will yield the necessary values for Vx, Iba, and Vba.

KVL


The Attempt at a Solution


I tried doing KVL for the right side of the arrow to try and find Vx, but i get terms of (I) the current but don't know how to solve for the current to substitute back into the KVL equation.

First thing you should note is that the arrow-line Vx isn't a wire. The whole thing is just a single loop circuit. Just use KVL for that single loop and solve for I.
 
Thread 'Have I solved this structural engineering equation correctly?'
Hi all, I have a structural engineering book from 1979. I am trying to follow it as best as I can. I have come to a formula that calculates the rotations in radians at the rigid joint that requires an iterative procedure. This equation comes in the form of: $$ x_i = \frac {Q_ih_i + Q_{i+1}h_{i+1}}{4K} + \frac {C}{K}x_{i-1} + \frac {C}{K}x_{i+1} $$ Where: ## Q ## is the horizontal storey shear ## h ## is the storey height ## K = (6G_i + C_i + C_{i+1}) ## ## G = \frac {I_g}{h} ## ## C...
