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.

PROBLEM 18.103
A 2.5 kg homogeneous disk of radius 80 mm rotates with an
angular velocity ₁ with respect to arm ABC, which is welded
to a shaft DCE rotating as shown at the constant rate
w212 rad/s. Friction in the bearing at A causes ₁ to
decrease at the rate of 15 rad/s². Determine the dynamic
reactions at D and E at a time when ₁ has decreased to
50 rad/s.
