The Iceberg Kid, infamous for imposing a deep freeze on whoever disagrees with him, discovers that in his advanced teenaged years his hands constantly feel chilled. As he is a cool physics student, the Iceberg Kid quickly calculates the resistance of the resistor needed to warm his hands. Given that 177 J of thermal energy is generated by the resistor during 7.69 s of operation while connected to a 12.0 V battery, find the correct value of this resistance (and avoid a cold, cold fate). resistance: Ω
