Answer

$117\;V$.

Work Step by Step

Voltage drop $\propto$ resistance. Let the required voltage drop is $x$. we can write. $\Rightarrow \frac{28\;\Omega}{52\;V}=\frac{63\;\Omega}{x}$ Cross multiply. $\Rightarrow 28\times x=63\times 52$ Divide both sides by $28$. $\Rightarrow x=\frac{63\times 52}{28}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow x=117$.
