We would like to make a 600-ohm resistor out of Nichrome wire with a cross-sectional area of 3.0 10-3 square centimeter. If the resistivity of Nichrome is 110 x 106 ohm-centimeter, how long should the wire be?​

l = AR/resistivity

l =[( 3 × 10^-3) × 600]/ 110 × 10^6

then find length of wire.

sorry i don't hv my calculator
