Textbook Question
Chapter 12, Problem 9RQ
- 9. You are given four resistors, each of 7.5, 10, 15, and 20 kiloohms [kΩ].
- a. What is the largest equivalent resistance that can be made using these four resistors? Draw a diagram indicating how the four resistors are connected.
- b. What is the smallest equivalent resistance that can be made using only three of these resistors ?
Draw a diagram indicating how the three resistors are connected.
- c. How close an equivalent resistance to the average of the four resistors (13.125 kΩ) can you make using only these resistors? You may use all four resistors to do this, but you may use less if that will yield an equivalent resistance closer to the average.

- In Part B, it was shown that the tension in a cable is constant around a frictionless pulley. The reason why the equations of equilibrium could be used here is because the values of 0 and o are not arbitrary. In fact, the geometry of the system is based on the equations of equilibrium and a relationship between 0 and o can be determined using them.
