In 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 0.371 ohm, what is the resistance of a wire of the same length and material with diameter 0.0269 in. to the nearest ten-thousandth? The resistance of a wire is sohm. (Round your answer to the nearest ten-thousandth.).
