F=dP/dt. So you want the momentum to change as slowly as possible in time to minimize the force. So as you catch the egg, let your hand move backward with it for awhile, slowly bringing it to a stop. If you hold your hand steady when you catch it the force due to the impact could break it.
Given
Three 7 ohm resistor are in series.
The battery is V=10V
To find
The equivalent resistance
Explanation
When the resistance are in series then the resistance are added to find its equivalent.
Thus the equivalent resistance is:

Conclusion
The equivalent resistance is 21 ohm
