Excel Solver Example 2

This document discusses using Excel Solver to solve a system of non-linear equations. The goal is to solve for the unknown variables q2 and q3 given the known values of r2, r3, and r4. The system contains two equations (f1 and f2) relating the known and unknown variables, and the objective is to minimize the value of obj.
