Question
### Problem Statement:

5) Consider the bridge circuit described by the diagram below.
   a. Use **mesh analysis** to find \( I_x \).
   b. How much power is delivered by the 16 V source?
   c. What is the voltage drop across the 5 \(\Omega\) resistor?

### Circuit Description:

The diagram shows a bridge circuit with a 16 V voltage source. The circuit contains the following resistors:

- A 5 \(\Omega\) resistor in series with the voltage source.
- A branch containing a 2 \(\Omega\) and a 4 \(\Omega\) resistor in series.
- A parallel branch with a 4 \(\Omega\) and a 2 \(\Omega\) resistor in series.

An arrow labeled \( I_x \) indicates the current through the branch containing the 4 \(\Omega\) resistors.

### Tasks:
1. **Mesh Analysis**: 
   - Use mesh analysis to calculate the current \( I_x \) through the specified branch.
   
2. **Power Calculation**: 
   - Determine the power delivered by the 16 V source using the calculated current.
   
3. **Voltage Drop**: 
   - Find the voltage drop across the 5 \(\Omega\) resistor using Ohm's Law.
