Well I already sort of answered this an hour after my last post. Mostly, I did it by trial and error. I used .06 m as the radius for the Total Resistance. And I got .05, .065, and .08 as the radii for the 3 blocks, the length I used was .33 m. If anyone has a better solution, I would...

Ack I guess I forgot to say that L = 1m. Sorry.

Thank you for replying to my post. :) I did not meant for anyone to solve the problem for me, I just want to know how to solve it. I know the formula: R= \frac {\rho L} A I'm just confuse on how to use it on a radius that lineary increases. Should I try to estimate a Resistance...

Can anyone help me with this resistance problem? Total Resistance in a series = R1+R2+... Using this principle, estimate the resistance of a cylindrical aluminum block (resistivity = 2.65 x 10^-8 ohm-meter)that has a radius w/c lineary increases from 5cm to 10 cm. Then divide block...
