A DC series motor, connected to a 440 V supply, runs at 900 r/min when taking a current of 70 A. Determine the value of resistor, which when inserted in series with the motor, will reduce the speed to 550 r/min, the gross torque being a third of the previous value. The resistance of the motor is 0.2 ohm.
