I have had a look at others, just trying to jump into what is going on is a little tough, but given time I am sure I will be fine.
As you have suggested about going down the line of drawing a sketch I will attempt, and try to finish this 'drop shunt' calculation off. I don't mind making the mistakes if it brings me closer to where I need to be.
I will try and post at some point, probably won't be able to do so till early next week due to work.
Many thanks Peter

Don't be put off though. I have found with many things in engineering and maths, once you figure out what it is that you are supposed to be working out, it gets a lot easier, and it is far better to learn by trying to work it out with some guidance than to be just told the answer. If that was your first ever attempt, you have some good foundations for future tries.
Have you looked at any of the attempts for some of the other questions to try to get an understanding of the way to approach things?
If you can draw out a sketch of the circuit and mark things on it and post that as a scan, we might be able to give you some pointers on where your thoughts are going wrong.
