Answer

The length should be $~~10.4~m$

Work Step by Step

We can find the required length: $P = \frac{V^2}{R}$ $P = \frac{V^2}{\rho~L/A}$ $P = \frac{V^2~A}{\rho~L}$ $L = \frac{V^2~A}{\rho~P}$ $L = \frac{(100~V)^2~(2.60\times 10^{-6}~m^2)}{(5.00\times 10^{-7}~\Omega\cdot m)(5000~W)}$ $L = 10.4~m$ The length should be $~~10.4~m$
