Question 1005931: The electrical resistance of a wire varis inversely to the square of the diameternal of the wire.This is given by the formula R=5/d^2, where R is the resistance in ohms and d is the wire in millimeters.Determine the diameter of the wire if the electrical resistance is 5/64

From we plug 5/64 in for R and solve...we get
5/64 = 5 / (d^2)
d^2 = 64
d = 8 mm
