1. The resistance of a metal wire is R units. Its diameter is d m and its length is l m. It is known that R varies inversely as the square of d and directly as l. When the length of a metal wire is 10m and its diameter is 4mm, its resistance is 75 units.
a) Express R in terms of d and l.
b) Find the resistance of a metal wire of length 40m and diameter 1cm.
