Answer

$V_{rms} = 22.4~V$

Work Step by Step

We can write an expression for the power: $P = \frac{V^2}{R}$ Note that: $~~P \propto V^2 \propto V_{rms}^2$ If the power dissipated increases by a factor of 5, then $V_{rms}$ increases by a factor of $\sqrt{5}$ We can find the required value for the $V_{rms}$: $V_{rms} = (\sqrt{5})~(10.0~V) = 22.4~V$
