Physics questions?? Help please

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-05-03] [Hit: ]
the resistors 42 and 64 ohms, are connected in parallel. the current through the 64 ohms resistor is 3 amps. A.) determine the current in the other resistors B.) what is the total power consumed by the two resistors?......
can someone please please help me with these phyiscs questions?

first, what resistance must be placed in parallel with a 155 resistor to make the equivalent resistance 115 ohms?

secondly, the resistors 42 and 64 ohms, are connected in parallel. the current through the 64 ohms resistor is 3 amps. A.) determine the current in the other resistors B.) what is the total power consumed by the two resistors?

and lastly, a coffee cup heater and a lamp are connected in parallel to the same 120
V outlet. Together, they use a total of 84 watts of power. The resistance of the heater is 6.0X10^2 ohms. Find the resistance of the lamp.

please any help is appreciated.

1) By 1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2
=>1/115 = 1/155 + 1/R
=>1/R = 1/115 - 1/155
=>R = 445.625Ω
2)(A) By 1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2
=>1/R = 1/42 + 1/64
=>R = 25.36
=>By V = i x R
=>V = i2 x R2
=>V = 3 x 64 = 192 V
=>By V = i1 x R1
=>192 = i1 x 42
=>i1 = 4.57 amp
(B) By P = V^2/R
=>P = (192)^2/25.36
=>P = 1453.63 Watt
3) By P = V^2/R
=>84 = (120)^2/R
=>R = 171.43Ω
=>By 1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2
=>1/171.43 = 1/600 + 1/R
=>1/R = 1/171.43 - 1/600
=>R = 240Ω
