How to Use Nodal Analysis to Find Vth in a Circuit

AI Thread Summary
To find Vth in the given circuit using nodal analysis, a supernode should be created. The discussion suggests transforming the 10A supply and the 6Ω resistor into their Thevenin equivalent. This approach allows for solving the loop to determine the current and subsequently the voltage across the 2Ω resistor. Participants emphasize the importance of correctly identifying current directions in the analysis. Utilizing Thevenin's theorem simplifies the process of calculating Vth effectively.

We want to find Vth for the given circuit using nodal analysis. We need to create a supernode. I have drawn the directions the currents. How do I proceed? Please help me out. Thank you

Cheers

Consider transforming the 10A supply and the 6Ω resistor into their Thevenin equivalent, then you'll have a loop that you can solve for its current (and then the voltage on the 2Ω resistor).
 
Thank you.

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged 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...
