Need help calculation Thevenin equivalent

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the Thevenin equivalent from specified terminals x, x' and y, y'. The user has determined the equivalent resistance (R_eq) to be 7.32 ohms but is struggling to calculate the Thevenin voltage (V_th) due to a lack of current information. Clarification is provided regarding the correct terminal labels, confirming that the focus is on x, x' and y, y'. To find V_th, it is suggested to use the formula V_th = R_th * (current when output terminals are shorted). The conversation emphasizes the importance of correctly identifying terminals and obtaining the necessary current for accurate calculations.

On the first image i have to find the thevenin equivalent viewed from terminals x, x' & y, y'

i get the Req as 7.32ohms but now i am having trouble calculating the vth, i have no I to calculate

thanks in advance

Are you sure you put in the right picture? I see no terminals a&b, but only x,x',y and y'.

V_th is R_th * (current if you short the output terminals)
 
Yes i am sorry its terminal x, x' & y, y'
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

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

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 hanging mass'

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...
