SOLUTION: The resistance, R, of a wire varies directly as its length and inversely as the square of its diameter. If the resistance of a wire 3100 ft long with a diameter of 0.07 inches is

Question 1050634: The resistance, R, of a wire varies directly as its length and inversely as the square of its diameter. If the resistance of a wire 3100 ft long with a diameter of 0.07 inches is 16262 ohms, what is the resistance of 900 ft of the same type of wire with a diameter of 0.05 inches?
