The problem involves using nodal analysis to find the voltages \( V_1 \) and \( V_2 \) in the circuit.

### Circuit Information:
- The circuit has two nodes labeled \( V_1 \) and \( V_2 \).
- There are resistors with values \( 10 \, \Omega \), \( 5 \, \Omega \), and \( 3 \, \Omega \).
- A \( 2 \, \text{A} \) current source is connected between node \( V_1 \) and ground.
- A voltage source with \( V_2 \) across it is connected in the circuit.

### Steps for Nodal Analysis:

1. **Identify Nodes:**  
   - \( V_1 \) is the voltage at the node where the 2A current source is connected.
   - \( V_2 \) is the voltage at the node with the voltage source connected.

2. **Set Up Equations:**
   - Apply Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) at nodes \( V_1 \) and \( V_2 \).

3. **KCL at Node \( V_1 \):**
   - Assume currents leaving the node.
   - \( \frac{V_1 - V_2}{5} + \frac{V_1}{10} = 2 \)

4. **KCL at Node \( V_2 \):**
   - \( \frac{V_2 - V_1}{5} + \frac{V_2}{3} + I_{\text{source}} = 0 \)

   However, the current source directly gives the current leaving from \( V_1 \) to ground, so we modify the equation.

5. **Solve the System of Equations:**
   - Substitute values and solve for \( V_1 \) and \( V_2 \).

Let me calculate the values for \( V_1 \) and \( V_2 \) using these steps.The voltages at the nodes are:

- \( V_1 = \frac{80}{9} \, \text{V} \approx 8.89 \, \text{V} \)
- \( V_2 = \frac{10}{3} \, \text{V} \approx 3.33 \, \text{V} \)

These are the node voltages found using nodal analysis.

### Related Questions:
1. How would the node voltages change if the 2A current source is replaced with a different value?
2. What would happen to \( V_1 \) and \( V_2 \) if the \( 3 \, \Omega \) resistor is replaced with a \( 6 \, \Omega \) resistor?
3. How can superposition theorem be applied to this circuit for verification?
4. What effect would adding another resistor between \( V_2 \) and ground have on the node voltages?
5. Can mesh analysis be used as an alternative to find \( V_1 \) and \( V_2 \)?

### Tip:
When solving circuits using nodal analysis, always make sure to carefully account for all the currents entering and leaving each node to avoid errors in setting up your equations.
