Answer:
Resistance of the iron rod, R = 0.000077 ohms
Explanation:
It is given that,
Area of iron rod, 
Length of the rod, L = 35 cm = 0.35 m
Resistivity of Iron, 
We need to find the resistance of the iron rod. It is given by :



So, the resistance of the rod is 0.000077 ohms. Hence, this is the required solution.
For this problem, we would be using the formula: Vf^2 = Vi^2 + 2ad
where:
Vf = 400m/s
Vi = 300m/s
a = ?
d = 4.0km
= 4000m
400^2 = 300^2 + 2a4000
a = [ 160000 - 90000 ] / 8000
a = 8.75m/s^2
rounding it off to 2 significant figures, will give us 8.8 m/s^2.
The correct answer is A. The strands are different. Hope this helps! :)
