You are working at a company that manufactures electrical wire. Gold is the most ductile of all metals: it can be stretched into incredibly long, thin wires. The company has developed a new technique that will stretch 1.65 g of gold into a wire of length L = 2.48 km and uniform diameter. Your supervisor gives you the task of determining the resistance of such a wire (in M22) at 20.0°C. (The density of gold is 19.3 x 10³ kg/m³.) ΜΩ

**Calculating the Resistance of a Gold Wire**

**Problem Statement:**

You are working at a company that manufactures electrical wire. Gold is the most ductile of all metals; it can be stretched into incredibly long, thin wires. The company has developed a new technique that will stretch 1.65 g of gold into a wire of length \(L = 2.48 \text{ km}\) and uniform diameter. Your supervisor gives you the task of determining the resistance of such a wire (in \( \text{M}\Omega \)) at \(20.0^\circ\text{C}\). (The density of gold is \(19.3 \times 10^3 \text{ kg/m}^3\).)

**Task:**

Determine the resistance of the wire.

**Input:**

\[ \boxed{} \text{ } \text{M}\Omega \]

**Density of gold:**

\[ 19.3 \times 10^3 \text{ kg/m}^3\]
