I1 is the current flowing in the first mesh. I2 is the current flowing in the second mesh and I3 is the current flowing in the top mesh. If all three currents are flowing in the clockwise direction, find the value of I1, I2 and I3.

I1 is the current flowing in the first mesh. I2 is the current flowing in the second mesh and I3 is the current flowing in the top mesh. If all three currents are flowing in the clockwise direction, find the value of I1, I2 and I3. Correct Answer 7.67A, 10.67A, 2A

The two meshes which contain the 3A current is a super mesh. The three mesh equations therefore are: I3=2A I2-I1=3 -2I1-I2=-26 Solving these equations simultaneously we get: I1=7.67A, I2=10.67A and I3=2A.

The two links OA and OB are connected by a pin joint at O. If the link OA turns with angular velocity $${\omega _1}$$ rad/s in the clockwise direction and the link OB turns with angular velocity $${\omega _2}$$ rad/s in the clockwise direction, then the rubbing velocity at the pin joint O is (where r = Radius of the pin at O)
