AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on solving a circuit using Kirchhoff's laws to determine voltage drops across resistances in a three-wire DC distribution system. Participants emphasize the importance of showing initial work before receiving tutorial assistance, highlighting a collaborative learning approach. One user mentions having completed a similar, less complex problem but struggles with the more intricate structure of the current problem. The conversation underscores the need for engagement and effort in problem-solving. Ultimately, the focus remains on applying Kirchhoff's laws effectively to find the required voltage drops.

amon, please also note that we do not give out solutions here on the PF. You must show some of your own work before we can offer tutorial help. So when you post your attachment again, please also tell us how you would approach the problem.
 
No can do

I have completed a similar question attached below (prblm. #2). Of coure, it is less complex, but the same idea, I just get lost with the multi-structural ladder in prblm.#1.

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...
