A heater is designed to operate with a power of $1000 \mathrm{~W}$ in a $100 \mathrm{~V}$ line. It is connected in combination with a resistance of $10 \Omega$ and a resistance $R$, to a $100 \mathrm{~V}$ mains as shown in figure. For the heater to operate at $62.5 \mathrm{~W}$, the value of $\mathrm{R}$ should be .................. $\Omega$.
