Power Factor Correction

Two loads are placed in parallel across a 120-V rms 60-Hz line. The first load draws 150 VA at a lagging power factor of 0.707, while the second load draws 50 VAR at a leading power factor of 0.8. A third load is purely capacitive and is placed in parallel across the 120-V line in order to make the pf of the system equal to unity. Calculate the value of the capacitance.
