Steady State Sinusoidal using Nodal Analysis

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on solving a steady state sinusoidal circuit problem using Nodal Analysis, specifically addressing a discrepancy in the source frequency from 80t to 100t. The participant calculated voltages v1 and v2 as 2.84∠131.12° and 3.56∠122.15°, respectively, which differ from the book's solutions of v1=2.56cos(100t+139.2°) and v2=4.35cos(100t+138.3°). The equations utilized include Ohm's Law, Kirchhoff's Current Law, and conversions between rectangular and polar notation.

Homework Statement

The photo included provides the problem but the professor stated that the right side source is supposed to be 100t and not 80t. The problem wasn't printed correctly in the book so I assume the solution wasn't either. The solution via the book is v1=2.56cos(100t+139.2°), v2=4.35cos(100t+138.3°)

Homework Equations


Rectangular to Polar Notation
Polar to Rectangular Notation
Ohms Law
Nodal Analysis
Kirchhoff's Current Law

The Attempt at a Solution


I used Nodal Analysis
v1: ((v1)/1∠90°)+((v1)/2)+(((v1)-(v2))/4.55∠-90°)+(((v1)-(v2))/3) - (3∠62°)=0
v2: 2+((v2)/(2.13∠-90°))+((v2)/5)+(((v2)-(v1))/4.55∠-90°)+(((v1)-(v2))/3)=0
plugging that into the calculator and solving gives
v1=2.84∠131.12°
v2=3.56∠122.15°
Which is NOT the book solution. Please tell me if I did this correctly.

Your equations look correct, so just double check the values you obtained from the calculator.

I can confirm that the values look good, too.

I suppose that the problem may have been modified a bit at some point and the answer key not updated.
