At \( v_5 \): \[ \frac{v_5 - v_y}{2} + v_5 + \frac{v_5 - v_3}{4} = 0 \] Multiply through by 4: \[ 2(v_5 - v_y) + 4v_5 + (v_5 - v_3) = 0 \] \[ 2v_5 - 2v_y + 4v_5 + v_5 - v_3 = 0 \] \[ (2v_5 + 4v_5 + v_5) - 2v_y - v_3 = 0 \] \[ 7v_5 - 2v_y - v_3 = 0 \quad \text{(Equation 2)} \] --- ### 3. At \( v_3 \): \[ \frac{v_3 - v_5}{4} + \frac{v_3}{2} = 28 \] Multiply through by 4: \[ v_3 - v_5 + 2v_3 = 112 \] \[ ( v_3 + 2v_3 ) - v_5 = 112 \] \[ 3v_3 - v_5 = 112 \quad \text{(Equation 3)} \] --- ## Part (b): Solve the system of equations We now have: \[ \begin{cases} 5v_y - 3v_5 = 80 \quad (1) \\ 7v_5 - 2v_y - v_3 = 0 \quad (2) \\ 3v_3 - v_5 = 112 \quad (3) \end{cases} \] --- ### Step 5: Express \( v_3 \) from (3): \[ v_5 = 3v_3 - 112 \] ### Step 6: Substitute into (2): \[ 7v_5 - 2v_y - v_3 = 0 \] \[ 7(3v_3 - 112) - 2v_y - v_3 = 0 \] \[ 21v_3 - 784 - 2v_y - v_3 = 0 \] \[ (21v_3 - v_3) - 784 - 2v_y = 0 \] \[ 20v_3 - 784 - 2v_y = 0 \] Rearranged: \[ 20v_3 - 2v_y = 784 \] \[ 10v_3 - v_y = 392 \quad (4) \] --- ### Step 7: Express \( v_y \) from (1): \[ 5v_y - 3v_5 = 80 \] Recall \( v_5 = 3v_3 - 112 \): \[ 5v_y - 3(3v_3 - 112) = 80 \] \[ 5v_y - 9v_3 + 336 = 80 \] \[ 5v_y = 80 - 336 + 9v_3 \] \[ 5v_y = -256 + 9v_3 \] \[ v_y = \frac{-256 + 9v_3}{5} \quad (5) \] --- ### Step 8: Substitute \( v_y \) into (4): \[ 10v_3 - v_y = 392 \] Using (5): \[ 10v_3 - \frac{-256 + 9v_3}{5} = 392 \] Multiply through by 5 to clear denominator: \[ 50v_3 - (-256 + 9v_3) = 1960 \] \[ 50v_3 + 256 - 9v_3 = 1960 \] \[ (50v_3 - 9v_3) + 256 = 1960 \] \[ 41v_3 + 256 = 1960 \] \[ 41v_3 = 1960 - 256 = 1704 \] \[ v_3 = \frac{1704}{41} \approx 41.56\, \text{V} \] --- ### Step 9: Find \( v_y \): Using (5): \[ v_y = \frac{-256 + 9 \times 41.56}{5} = \frac{-256 + 373.04}{5} = \frac{117.04}{5} \approx 23.41\, \text{V} \] ### Step 10: Find \( v_5 \): Recall \( v_5 = 3v_3 - 112 \): \[ v_5 = 3 \times 41.56 - 112 = 124.68 - 112 = 12.68\, \text{V} \] --- ## **Final node voltages:** \[ \boxed{ v_y \approx 23.41\, \text{V} \\ v_5 \approx 12.68\, \text{V} \\ v_3 \approx 41.56\, \text{V} } \] --- ## **Part (b): Power delivered by the 40 V source** ### Step 11: Find the current from the 40 V source - The current flowing from the 40 V source through the 3Ω resistor: \[ I_{source} = \frac{v_y - 40}{3} \] At \( v_y \approx 23.41\, \text{V} \): \[ I_{source} = \frac{23.41 - 40}{3} = \frac{-16.59}{3} \approx -5.53\, \text{A} \] The negative sign indicates current flows **into** the source (i.e., the source is absorbing power), but since the question asks for power delivered **by** the source: \[ P = V \times I = 40\, \text{V} \times (-5.53\, \text{A}) = -221\, \text{W} \] The negative sign indicates the source **receives** power; thus, the **power delivered** by the 40 V source is: \[ \boxed{ \text{Power delivered} = 221\, \text{W} } \] --- ## **Final answers:** ### **(a)** \[ \boxed{ v_y \approx 23.41\, \text{V} \\ v_5 \approx 12.68\, \text{V} \\ v_3 \approx 41.56\, \text{V} } \] ### **(b)** \[ \boxed{ \text{Power delivered by the 40 V source} \approx 221\, \text{W} } \] --- **Note:** The actual node voltages depend on the precise circuit diagram, but this approach illustrates the detailed process for solving using node-voltage method with given resistances and sources.
