Hydroelectric power is considered to be an example of multiple transfers of energy because potential energy when the water is in the reservoir turns into kinetic energy making the water move to the dam and then the dam moves into the turbine turning it to electric energy.
To get the total resistance in a parallel circuit, you need to remember that unlike in a series, you do not just merely add the resistances. You need to get the reciprocal first of each resistance and add them together.

After adding them, you will get the reciprocal again and then compute for the value. The problem says that there are 4 resistors in the circuit that have a resistance of 75.

Add up the numerator and copy the denominator:

Then get the reciprocal to get the total resistance:

The answer to your question then is A. 18.8.
Answer:
a)15 N
b)12.6 N
Explanation:
Given that
Weight of block (wt)= 21 N
μs = 0.80 and μk = 0.60
We know that
Maximum value of static friction given as
Frs = μs m g = μs .wt
by putting the values
Frs= 0.8 x 21 = 16.8 N
Value of kinetic friction
Frk= μk m g = μk .wt
By putting the values
Frk= 0.6 x 21 = 12.6 N
a)
When T = 15 N
Static friction Frs= 16.8 N
Here the value of static friction is more than tension T .It means that block will not move and the value of friction force will be equal to the tension force.
Friction force = 15 N
b)
When T= 35 N
Here value of tension force is more than maximum value of static friction that is why block will move .We know that when body is in motion then kinetic friction will act on the body.so the value of friction force in this case will be 12.6 N
Friction force = 12.6 N
