AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on solving Thevenin's problem by determining voltage, current, and power in a circuit with a load resistance. The initial calculations involve removing the load resistor (RL) and finding the voltage at a junction between two resistors, resulting in 9V. The source impedance is calculated using the formula for resistors in parallel. Participants are encouraged to continue the analysis by calculating the voltage and source impedance at a specific point in the circuit. The conversation emphasizes the importance of these calculations for understanding Thevenin's theorem.

1. Remove RL. Now the voltage at the junction between 20Ω and 30Ω is \frac{30\Omega}{(20+30)\Omega}\cdot 15V = 9V with a source impedance of 20\Omega \left\lvert \right\rvert 30\Omega =\frac{20\cdot 30}{20 + 30}\Omega...

Thank you for your reply, also how do you calculate the other values

I have given you the first steps. Now try the next: With RL still disconnected, find the voltage and the source impedance at point A.
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
