Two parallel vertical metallic rails AB and CD are separated by 1m. They are connected at the two ends by resistances R_1 and R_2 as shown in the figure. A horizontal metallic bar 1 of mass 0.2 kg slides without friction, vertically down the rails under the action of gravity. There is a uniform horizontal magnetic field of 0.6 T perpendicular to the plane of the rails. It is observed that when the terminal velocity is attained, the powers dissipated in R_1 and R_2 are 0.76W and 1.2W respectively (g=9.8m//s^2) The value of R_2 is
