AI Thread Summary
To determine the Thevenin voltage source external to the load resistor, the load resistor should be removed from the circuit. After removing the load resistor, the voltage across the terminals where the load was connected can be calculated. The values mentioned, 70 ohms and 30 volts, are confirmed to be correct for the circuit in question. This approach will allow for the accurate calculation of the Thevenin equivalent voltage. Understanding this method is crucial for solving similar circuit problems effectively.

I don't under stand the question

"Determine the equivalent Thevenin voltage source external to the load resistor"

here's a diagram of the circuit. All I need to know is where on the circuit I'm suppose to calculate this, then I can take it from there. Do I take out the load resistor from the circuit and find the voltage?

Yup that's what it looks like to me. Just remove Rload and work from there.
 
70 ohms and 30 volts sound right?
 
looks good to me

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...
