A circuit, consisting of three resistances 12 Q, 18 Q and 36 Q respectively, joined in parallel, is connected in series with a fourth resistance. The whole is sup- plied at 60 V and it is found that the power dissipated in the 12 2 resistance is 36 W. Determine the value of the fourth resistance and the total power dissipated in the group.
