You are working at a company that manufactures electrical wire. Gold is the most ductile of all metals: it can be stretched into incredibly long, thin wires. The company has developed a new technique that will stretch 1.05 g of gold into a wire of length .-248 km and uniform diameter. Your supervisor gives you the task of determining the resistance of such a wire (in MO) at 20.0°C. (The density of gold is 19.3 × 103 kg/m³.)

Resistance depends on the size and shape of a conductor. We expect a long wire to have higher resistance than a short one (everything else being the same) and a thicker wire to have a lower resistance than a thin one. Resistance also depends on the intrinsic property of the conductor called the resistivity. If the resistivity of a particular wire is 70.26x10-8 Ω ⋅ m, the wire is 44.47mm in length, and the radius of the diameter of the wire is 1.95m, what is the resistance of the wire in units of Ohms (Ω)?
