n the electric currect​ flow, it is found that the resistance​ (measured in the units called​ ohms) offered by a fixed length of wire of a given material varies inversely as the square of the diameter of the wire. If a wire 0.01 in. in diameter has a resistance of 0.0434 ​ohm, what is the resistance of a wire of the same length and material with diameter 0.0486 in. to the nearest​ ten-thousandth?
