Chapter 26, Problem 12P

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 1.00 g of gold into a wire of length L = 2.40 km and uniform diameter. Your supervisor gives you the task of determining the resistance of such a wire at 20.0°C.

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 1.30 g of gold into a wire of length L = 2.52 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 x 103 kg/m3.)
