16 The no-load voltage in the voltage-divider circuit shown in Fig. P3.16 is $8\mathrm{V}$. The smallest load resistor that is ever connected to the divider is $3.6\mathrm{k}?$. When the divider is loaded, $v_o$ is not to drop below $7.5\mathrm{V}$. a) Design the divider circuit to meet the specifications just mentioned. Specify the numerical values of $R_1$ and $R_2$. b) Assume the power ratings of commercially available resistors are $1/16,1/8,1/4,1$, and $2\mathrm{W}$. What power rating would you specify?
