Question 176964: the resistance of copper wire varies directly with its length. a copper wire 275 feet long has a resistance of 950 ohms. what is the resistance of 1575 feet of copper wire
Answer by Earlsdon(6294) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You can start by writing the equation of variation in which R = resistance in ohms and L = wire length in feet, and k = the constant of variation:
Solve for k.
Substitute the given R = 950 ohms and L = 275 feet and solve for k.
Simplify.
, so...
Substitute L = 1575 feet and solve for R.
ohms.
