Answer

$1.34\times10^{-4}\Omega$

Work Step by Step

Use equation 18–3 to find the resistance, where A is the cross-sectional area of the pipe. $$A=\pi (R_{outer}^2- R_{inner}^2)$$ $$R=\rho\frac{\mathcal{l}}{A}$$ $$R=\frac{(1.68\times10^{-8}\Omega \cdot m)(10.0m)}{\pi ((2.5\times10^{-2}m)^2- (1.5\times10^{-2}m)^2)}$$ $$R=1.34\times10^{-4}\Omega$$
