A motor with a power of 7.0 x 10^4 watts lifts a loaded elevator to a height of 20.0 meters for 40 seconds. What is the force exerted by the motor on the elevator?

Two resistors r1 and r2 may be connected either in series or parallel across an ideal battery with emf ε. we desire the rate of energy dissipation of the parallel combination to be 8.75 times that of the series combination. if r1 = 105 ω, what are the (a) smaller and (b) larger of the two values of r2 that result in that dissipation rate?
