AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on solving Kirchhoff's Loop Problem to find the currents I1, I2, and I3. The user presents three equations derived from the circuit analysis and shares their calculated values for the currents. A confirmation is sought regarding the correctness of the equations and the resulting current values. The solution is affirmed, with a note on the alternative approach of using a single equation for potential by applying the current rule. The conversation highlights the effectiveness of different methods in circuit analysis.

Homework Statement


We are to find I1, I2 and I3 in the diagram.


Homework Equations


These are the three equations I got. I need to know if they're correct.
x=I1
y=I2
z=I3

12y-24+35x=0
35x+34z-18=0
x=y+z

The Attempt at a Solution


Values I got on solving:
I1=0.508
I2=0.511
I3=0.0029

(Note: r=1 ohm)

kindly tell me if this is correct! :)

The solution is correct. I almost never use the voltage/loop rule.

If you give the node at the top an unknown potential V, and the node at the bottom a potential
0, you only have to use the current rule once to get a single equation for V.
 
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
