By using Ohm's law, we can calculate the resistance of the wire. Ohm's law states that:
where V is the potential difference across the conductor, I is the current and R the resistance. Rearranging the equation, we get
Now we can use the following equation to calculate the length of the wire:
(1)
where
is the resistivity of the material
L is the length of the conductor
A is its cross-sectional area
In this problem, we have a wire of copper, with resistivity
. The radius of the wire is half the diameter:
And the cross-sectional area is
So now we can rearrange eq.(1) to calculate the length of the wire:

Answer:
993 m or 3257 ft
Explanation:
The captain was told to fly at at 1500 ft altitude. At the rate of 3.28 ft to 1 m, this is
metres.
Since he was at 1450 m, he thought he was above the correct altitude by
1450 - 457 = 993 m.
In feet, this is
993 * 3.28 = 3257 ft
