Statement for Linked Answer Questions 84 and 85
A $30$ -Volts battery with zero source resistance is connected to a coaxial line of characteristic impedance of $50$ Ohms at $t=0$ second and terminated in an unknown resistive load. The line length is such that it takes $400 \; \mu s$ for an electromagnetic wave to travel from source end to load end and vice-versa. At $t=400 \; \mu s$ , the voltage at the load end is found to be $40$ Volts.

The load resistance is

A $50 \Omega$ lossless transmission line is terminated with a load $\mathrm{Z}_{\mathrm{L}}$ of $(50-\mathrm{j} 75) \Omega$ . If the average incident power on the line is $10 \: \mathrm{mW}$ , then the average power delivered to the load (in $\mathrm{mW}$ , rounded off to one decimal place) is $\_\_\_\_\_\_\_$ .
