Solved: Copper Wire The resistance in ohms of 1000 feet of solid copper wire at can be

Chapter 0, Problem 78

(choose chapter or problem)

Copper Wire The resistance y in ohms of 1000 feet of solid copper wire at \(77^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\) can be approximated by the model

\(y=\frac{10,770}{x^2}-0.37,\quad\ \ \ 5\le x\le100\)

where x is the diameter of the wire in mils (0.001 in.). Use a graphing utility to graph the model. If the diameter of the wire is doubled, the resistance is changed by about what factor?

Text Transcription:

77 degrees F

y = 10,770/x^2 - 0.37,     5 leq x leq 100
