During my free trial, I had no trouble viewing these videos, but now I cannot get any of the explanation videos to load on my PC Chrome Browser.

Hi elisabeth.burnor, thank you very much for reporting this. There is a temporary issue currently with the system, called Amazon S3, that hosts the videos and thumbnail images. I'm keeping an eye on https://status.aws.amazon.com/, and I would imagine it won't take them too long to sort thing out. When they do, Giancoli Answers will be back to normal.

Best wishes,
Mr. Dychko

Hey Mr. Dychko -
In the textbook, the problem states 1.7 k(ohm). You have it written here as 1.7 (ohm), yet you solved using the k(ohm). :)
Thanks for all your help! You will be why I do well in Phys 2!
