Engineering Variation of parameters in this Diode-Resistor circuit

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on analyzing a diode-resistor circuit's response to changes in independent variables while keeping others constant. It critiques a solution for only addressing a 10% change and highlights a potential error in calculating I3 by dividing by 100k instead of 110k. Additionally, it suggests that Vk should increase by 10% as well. There is also a call for clarification on the values that would cause the diode to turn off. Understanding these parameters is crucial for accurate circuit analysis.

Homework Statement
I have solved the following assignment (attached) but I have no idea if I have done it right or not? Feedback will be appreciated. It is from the Albert Malvino's Electronic Principles and is Fig. 3-25.
For each independent variable increase, determine what will be response of the dependent variables for the following circuit. Use 2nd approximation for diode.


Independent variables: Vs, R1, R2, R3, Vk
Dependent variables: Va, Vb, Vc, I1, I2, I3, P1, P2, P3.
Bonus Marks (3 marks)
Also calculate values of all the dependent variables for a 10% increase in all the independent variables.
Relevant Equations
V=IR,
P=VI
Vk=0.7 V

It appears to me that the question is asking for the response of all dependent variables for change in each independent variable (while holding others constant).
Your solution appears to only address the 10% case. In that situation, it looks like you divided by 100k rather than 110k for I3. Also, I believe Vk should also increase by 10%.

I'm not sure if the question is asking, but I think it would be useful to know what values cause the diode to turn off.
 
Thread 'Why wasn’t gravity included in the potential energy for this problem?'
I’m looking at the attached vibration problem. The solution in the manual includes the spring potential energy but does NOT include the gravitational potential energy of the hanging mass. Can someone explain why gravitational potential energy is not included when deriving the equation of motion? I tried asking ChatGPT but kept going in circles and couldn't figure out. Thanks!
