To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to Ohm's law and Electric Power. By Ohm's law we know that resistance is equivalent to,

Here,
V = Voltage
I = Current
While the power is equivalent to the product between the current and the voltage, thus solving for the current we have,


Applying Ohm's law


Therefore the equivalent resistance of the light string is 
The correct answer is C. Final Velocity

The change in potential energy of an object is given by

where
m is the mass of the object
g is the gravitational acceleration

is the increase in altitude of the object
In our problem,

is the mass of the book,

and

is the increase in altitude of the book, so its variation of potential energy is
