    Resistance
    R
    of a conducting wire of length
    l
    and of area of cross section
    A
    is given by the expression
    R
    =
    ρ
    l
    A

    where
    ρ
    is resistivity or specific resistance of the material of the conductor.
    Inserting given values in the expression in SI units we get
    34
    =

    l

    (

    )

    ⇒
    l
    =
    34

    ⇒
    l
    =
    15.71

    m
    , rounded to two decimal places.
