A combination of three resistors R1, R2, and R3 in series is connected across a voltage source VT. The voltage drop across R1 and R3 are 10 V and 36 V, respectively. If the current supplied by the source voltage is 1.4 A and the total power supplied by the source is 70 W, calculate the voltage drop across R2 in volts.
