The circuit diagram shown is relevant to Problems 16-17 and depicts a mesh analysis problem with two loops. Here's a detailed description of the elements and the corresponding equations:

**Circuit Description:**
- The circuit consists of a 30 V power source and several resistors forming two meshes.
- **Mesh 1**: Contains a 5Ω resistor in series with another 5Ω resistor connected to a shared 5Ω resistor between both meshes.
- **Mesh 2**: Contains a 4Ω resistor in series with a 6Ω resistor, also connected to the 5Ω resistor shared with Mesh 1.

**Objectives:**
- **Problem 16**: Find the current \( I_1 \) in Mesh 1.
- **Problem 17**: Find the current \( I_2 \) in Mesh 2.

**Mesh Equations:**
- **Mesh 1**: The equation is derived using Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL):
  \[
  (5 + 5)I_1 - 5I_2 = 30
  \]
- **Mesh 2**: The equation is also based on KVL:
  \[
  -5I_1 + (4 + 6)I_2 = 0
  \]

These mesh equations can be solved simultaneously to find the current values \( I_1 \) and \( I_2 \).
