Whale and Kanmuro are two islands located at the Chimera archipelago. These two are separated by a distance of 23 miles. A power link is to be established between them. The power link delivers a maximum power of 601 megawatts at full capacity with an operating voltage of 453 kilovolts. Note that 1 mile is 1.6 kilometers. Solve for the resistivity (in ohm-micrometers) of the cable asusming a conductor diameter of 1.52 centimeters.
