Question 57074: the elctrical resistance R of a wire varies directly as its length L and inversely as the sqaure of its diameter. A wre 20 meters long and 0.6 centimeters in diameter made from a certain alloy has a resistance of 36 ohms. what is the resistance of a pice of wire 60 meters long and 1.2 centimeters in diameter made from the same material?

R = KL/D^2....WHERE K IS A CONSTANT
36=K*20/0.6^2
K=36*0.36/20
R=K*60/1.2^2=[36*0.36/20][60/1.44]=[36*0.36*60/(20*1.44)]=27 OHMS
