5. Two 50 MVA, 3-phase alternators operate in parallel. The settings of governors are such that the rise in speed from full-load to no-load is 2 % in one machine and 3% in the other; the characteristics being straight lines in both cases. If each machine is fully loaded when the total load is 100 MW, what would (26 MW; 34 MW] be the load on each machine when the total load is 60 MW?
