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 691 megawatts at full capacity with an operating voltage of 400 kilovolts. Note that 1 mile is 1.5 kilometers. Solve for the resistivity (in ohm-micrometers) of the cable asusming a conductor diameter of 1.44 centimeters.
