 Good Luck!
-==== Project 15A: Circuits Review, featuring EM-boar tigers ==== /*
-As a last ditch effort to save your friends from the EM-boar tigers, you and your team realize the power grid of the city ranges long and far just reaching the outskirts of the EM-boar tiger lair where your friends are. See the map for a view of the 5 km by 5 km power with the lair lying just north of the grid. You must devise a plan that will pull the EM-boar tigers away from the base. From experimentation on previously captured EM-boar tigers shows that they can weigh up to 130 kg and travel at a velocity of 49 km/h (see this [[183_notes:supplemental|documentation]] on normal boar tigers). They also each individually have a charge of 200 C. You must figure out a way to save your friends located at the lair. A hoard of boar tigers is traveling at top-speed due east towards the lair, and the only solution you can think of is to ramp up the current running through the power grid. You need to exert a force of at least 3000 N on each EM-boar tiger in order to knock the EM-boar tigers off course and allow your friends time to escape during the distraction. Each resistor in the diagram is 10 $\Omega$, and the power source has a variable voltage. Your job is to determine the voltage needed to save your friends.
