Engineering Need help w/ circuit analysis

AI Thread Summary
Urgent assistance is requested for circuit analysis using mesh analysis to determine the power delivered by a current-controlled voltage source. Participants emphasize the importance of showing initial work to receive effective help, adhering to forum rules. The discussion includes applying Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) to the circuit, with specific equations being proposed. Clarifications are needed regarding the currents in the KVL equations, as they are not all uniform and vary at nodes. The resistors in the circuit are confirmed to be in ohms, which is crucial for accurate calculations.

Xtasy, you need to show some of your own work in order for us to help you . That's a rule here on the PF. As in your first post on the PF:

https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=153893

you were prodded to provide your own start to the problem. Show us what you know about mesh analysis here so far, and how it applies to this problem in your attachment. Then we'd be happy to provide some hints and tips.
 
Well, I could take KVL around the loop -Vx/8 + 6Ix + 6Ix - 1Ix=0 KVl around the lower right hand +32Ix -15Ix -1Ix= 0 = 16Ix=0. Then what?
 
The currents in your KVL equations are NOT all Ix. Ix is the current through that bottom right resister and will not be the same once it passes through that first node. Also what are the units for the resisters, kohm or ohm?

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...
