### Problem Description

**6) a) Calculate \( v \).**

### Circuit Analysis

The circuit diagram consists of the following components:

- **Current Source:**
  - Provides a current of \( 4.8 \, \text{A} \).

- **Resistors:**
  - **7.5 Ω** resistor with a current direction \( i_x \) flowing through it.
  - **2.5 Ω** resistor.
  - **10 Ω** resistor with labeled voltage \( v \) across it.
  - **2.5 Ω** resistor.
  - **1 Ω** resistor.

- **Voltage Source:**
  - Provides a voltage of \( 12 \, \text{V} \).

- **Dependent Current Source:**
  - Positioned in the middle of the circuit and defined as \( 1 i_x \).

### Node/Input/Output Description

- **Current \( i_x \):** Directed downward through the 7.5 Ω resistor.
- **Voltage \( v \):** Denoted across the 10 Ω resistor with positive at the top and negative at the bottom.

### Objective

Calculate the voltage \( v \) across the 10 Ω resistor using circuit analysis techniques.

### Explanation for Educational Use

This example integrates various components, including independent and dependent sources, and resistors. It requires the application of circuit analysis techniques such as Ohm's Law, Kirchhoff's Voltage and Current Laws, and possibly mesh or nodal analysis.

Students are encouraged to:
- Apply Kirchhoff’s laws to write the necessary equations.
- Use algebraic techniques to solve for unknowns.
- Verify results by cross-checking the power dissipated and supplied in the circuit.
