Engineering Find the net resistance for the following circuit

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on finding the net resistance in a specific circuit diagram. The user expresses difficulty in simplifying the resistors, unsure if they are in series or parallel. Responses indicate that the user overlooked a combination of the 5 Ohm and 14.4 Ohm resistors, which can be simplified before proceeding. Additional guidance is provided to help clarify the solution process. The conversation emphasizes collaborative problem-solving in circuit analysis.

Homework Statement



Find the net resistance for the following diagrahm.

The Attempt at a Solution



This is as far as I went to simplifying the resistors and I am stuck at the last step, not sure how to combine it since it's neither parallel or in series or is it?

I posted my work thus far, any help would be greatly appreciated.

The last step is incorrect. What can you do with the 5 Ohm and 14.4 Ohm resistors before doing the last step?
 
Must have overlooked that thanks for the help!
 
Glad to help. Welcome to the PF, by the way (BTW).

Thread 'PLL - How to find all the gains of a PI corrector and fix Ki ? MATLAB'

Hello everyone, it's not really for my homework (because I'm not at school anymore) but I'm new and I don't know how to start a new forum. I've never done automatic before and I need help. I have a 2nd ordre PLL on MATLAB, with an NCO and a PI corrector; the PLL works via the Mid/End algorithm (that's part is ok). I need to find the link between the theoretical formulas and their values in the code to find the value of the gain Ki, and possibly that of Kp if it's not correct. Unfortunately...

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...
