### Electrical Circuit Problem

**Problem Statement:**

3. In the circuit below, both batteries have insignificant internal resistance. 

**Circuit Diagram Description:**

- A circuit is shown with two loops and two batteries.
- The first battery, labeled as \(36 \, \text{V}\), is connected in the left loop with a current of \(3 \, \text{A}\) passing through a resistor labeled \(R\).
- A \(9 \, \Omega\) resistor is connected in the same loop with the \(36 \, \text{V}\) battery.
- The second battery is labeled \(\mathcal{E}\) (unknown electromotive force).
- This battery is in the right loop, in series with a \(2 \, \Omega\) resistor.
- The right loop also includes a \(6 \, \Omega\) resistor with a current of \(5 \, \text{A}\) flowing through it.
- A \(3 \, \Omega\) resistor bridges the two loops horizontally at the bottom.

**Questions:**

(a) Find the unknown resistance \(R\).

(b) Find the unknown emf \(\mathcal{E}\).

### Instructions:

1. Use the given values and laws of electrical circuits (such as Ohm's Law and Kirchhoff’s Laws) to find the unknown resistance \(R\) and electromotive force \(\mathcal{E}\).
2. Analyze the circuit using the principles of series and parallel combinations of resistors, and calculate accordingly. 

This problem is typical for practicing circuit analysis in electrical engineering or physics courses.
