**Title: Nodal Analysis of a Electrical Circuit**

**Introduction:**
This section provides an analysis of an electrical circuit using nodal analysis, a systematic method for determining the voltage at each node in a circuit. Below is the description and schematic representation of the given circuit.

**Circuit Description:**

- **Resistors:**
  - \( R_1 = 10 \Omega \)
  - \( R_2 = 8 \Omega \)
  - \( R_3 = 9 \Omega \)
  - \( R_4 = 9 \Omega \)

- **Voltage Sources:**
  - \( v_{s1} = 22V \)
  - \( v_{s2} = 11V \)

**Schematic Diagram:**

- The schematic features a circuit with two voltage sources and four resistors.
- \( v_{s1} \) is connected in series with resistor \( R_3 \).
- \( v_{s2} \) is connected parallel to resistors \( R_4 \) and \( R_2 \), with the negative terminal grounded.
- A controlled voltage source, \( 4v_a \), depends on the voltage across \( R_1 \).
- \( R_4 \) and \( R_1 \) are in series, and their junction is the node of interest where \( v_a \) is measured.
- The circuit features a diamond-shaped dependent source \( 4v_a \) in the branch with the described resistors and voltage sources.

**Analysis Task:**

- Use nodal analysis to determine the voltage \( v_a \) at the given node.
- Calculate all node voltages by applying Kirchhoff's current laws (KCL) and the relationships defined by Ohm's law.

**Instructions:**

1. **Define Nodes:**
   - Analyze the circuit by identifying all nodes. Choose the reference node (ground) and set it at 0V.

2. **Apply KCL:**
   - At each non-reference node, apply Kirchhoff’s Current Law (KCL) to set up equations based on current entering and leaving a node.
   
3. **Solving Equations:**
   - Use the relationships \( V = IR \) and solve the nodal equations to find \( v_a \).

This analysis will provide insight into voltage distribution across circuit components based on the configuration and component values.
