Question:

The resistance R of a wire of fixed length is related to its diameter x by an inverse square law, that is, by a function of the form R(ϰ) − kϰ-2.
(a) A wire of fixed length and 0.005 meters in diameter has a resistance of 140 ohms. Find the value of k.
(b) Find the resistance of a wire made of the same material and of the same length as the wire in part (a) but with a diameter of 0.008 meters.
