We are given four resistors with resistances 1, 2, 3, and 4 Ω (a) If they are connected together in series to a 11-volt battery, what is the total resistance and how much power is consumed? (b) If they are connected together in parallel to a 11-volt battery, what is the total resistance and how much power is consumed?

The man of mass m1 and the woman of mass m2 are standing on opposite ends of the platform of mass m0 which moves with negligible friction and is initially at rest with s = 0. the man and woman begin to approach each other. derive an expression for the displacement s of the platform when the two meet in terms of the displacement x1 of the man relative to the platform.
