Find the Thevenin equivalent circuit as seen by the load resistor, \( R_{L} \) in the following circuit when: \[ \begin{array}{l} v_{1}=-36.5 \mathrm{~V} \\ i_{1}=3.5 \mathrm{~A} \\ R_{1}=23 \Omega \\ R_{2}=10 \Omega \\ R_{3}=19 \Omega \end{array} \] Use your Thevenin equivalent circuit to determine the power absorbed by \( R_{L} \) when \( R_{L}=12 \) \( \Omega \). Give your answer in watts (even if it does not follow engineering notation) to 3 decimal point accuracy.
