Question
**Exercise: Analyzing a Circuit using Mesh Analysis**

In the circuit provided, you have the following elements:

- Resistors: 
  - A resistor of 4 Ω at the top left
  - A resistor of R = 6 Ω at the top right
  - Two resistors of 2 Ω each in the middle
  - A 1 Ω resistor connecting the bottom and the middle
  - Two resistors of 1 Ω each on the top and bottom of the middle
  - A resistor of 4 Ω at the bottom right

- Voltage Sources:
  - A 60 V source on the left side
  - A 22.5 V source on the right side

- Current Sources:
  - A 10 A current source at the top middle
  - A 5 A current source at the bottom left

- Current through a 1 Ω resistor in the middle is labeled as \( I_o \).

**Task:**
Apply mesh analysis to find the current \( I_o \) through the 1 Ω resistor located in the middle of the circuit. Consider the given resistance value \( R = 6 \, \Omega \).

In your analysis, create equations based on Kirchhoff's Voltage Law for each independent loop in the circuit. Use these equations to solve for \( I_o \).
