Steady State Sinusoidal using Nodal Analysis

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a homework problem involving steady-state sinusoidal analysis using nodal analysis, where the source was incorrectly printed as 80t instead of 100t. The provided book solution for voltages v1 and v2 differs from the user's calculations, which yielded v1=2.84∠131.12° and v2=3.56∠122.15°. Participants confirm the user's equations appear correct, suggesting a potential discrepancy in the problem's modification and the answer key. The user is seeking validation of their calculations and notes the source of the problem is from a specific textbook edition. The conversation highlights the importance of verifying problem statements and solutions in circuit analysis.

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°)

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.

Excuse me this question is from which country?
 
I am from the US. This question is from Engineering Circuit Analysis 8th Edition, by William H. Hayt Jr.
