Resistance calculation in a cube

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the equivalent resistance across two adjacent vertices of a cube where each edge and body diagonal is a one-ohm resistor. The initial poster expresses difficulty with the problem and seeks assistance, mentioning potential use of star and delta transformations. Another participant analyzes the resistor network, identifying groups of resistors in parallel and series configurations. Ultimately, the poster successfully finds the solution after receiving help. The conversation highlights collaborative problem-solving in electrical circuit analysis.

Homework Statement



each edge of a cube is built with a one ohm resistor, body diagonals are also built with one ohm resistors each. find out equivalent resistance across any two adjacent vertices.

Homework Equations



i guess it deals with star and delta transformations

The Attempt at a Solution



i'm attempting the question at the present and will post my solution once I'm done with the question.

hoping for a reply from you,

cheers

come on guys,

any help...

i've been trying frantically with no results. i could do with some help
 
hay..

just look at the network. here resistor a,b, and c(color green) are parallel and d,e,f,g,h,i(blue) are in parallel and j,k,l(red) are parallel in figure 1. While all these(green-blue-red) are connected in series. Look figure 2.

thanks for taking the effort mate :) got the solution :D
thanks again
 
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 '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...
