Describe the general traffic pattern when the road whose flow is X4 is closed Solution at point a according to KCL X1+40+X3+X4=0.........(1) at point c 100+X5=X3+X2............(2) at point b X1+X2=200.............(3) at point d X4+X5=60.................(4) when X4 is blocked X5= 60 at point d......(from equation 4) and substitute in equation in (2) from equation 3 we get X1= 200-X2 substitute in in equation 1 the final equation we gt is X3+X2= 160 X3-X2=-240 X3= -40, X2=200 and therefore X1=0.
