Answer

$R = 5.16\times 10^{-8}~\Omega$

Work Step by Step

We can find the resistivity: $R = \frac{\rho~L}{A}$ $\rho = \frac{R~A}{L}$ $\rho = \frac{R~\pi~r^2}{L}$ $\rho = \frac{(1.09\times 10^{-3}~\Omega)~(\pi)~(2.75\times 10^{-3}~m)^2}{1.60~m}$ $\rho = 1.62\times 10^{-8}~\Omega\cdot m$ We can find the resistance of the disk: $R = \frac{\rho~L}{A}$ $R = \frac{\rho~L}{\pi~r^2}$ $R = \frac{(1.62\times 10^{-8}~\Omega\cdot m)~(1.00\times 10^{-3}~m)}{(\pi)~(1.00\times 10^{-2}~m)^2}$ $R = 5.16\times 10^{-8}~\Omega$
