AI Thread Summary
To determine V0 in the given circuit, KCL is applied at node A, leading to the equation 4 + i1 - i2 = 0. The next step involves applying KVL to the three loops in the circuit to analyze the voltage drops. Additionally, simplifying the circuit reveals that the equivalent resistance of R4, R2, and R3 is 5 ohms. The discussion emphasizes using both KCL and KVL methods to solve for V0 effectively. Participants seek guidance on the subsequent steps in the analysis process.

hello!
i have the circuit below and i need to determine V0 by using two methods:

1)apply KCL at node a and invoke KVL and OHM's law
2)transforming the voltage source to an equivalent current source that is combined with the 4mA source.

Ok let us begin with the 1)

applying kcl at node a gives:

4+i1-i2=0
then what next?

please help me
thank you

Apply KVL to the 3 loops in the circuit.
 
To simplify the circuit further what can you say about R4, R2, and R3?
 
the equivalent is equal to 5
 
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...
