The resistance, R, of a wire varies directly as its length and inversely as the square of its diameter. If the resistance of a wire 1500 ft long with a diameter of 0.35 inches is 10796 ohms, what is the resistance of 2800 ft of the same type of wire with a diameter of 0.07 inches? (Leave k in fraction form or round to at least 3 decimal places. Round off your final answer to the nearest hundredth.)
