Problem

A conductor is shaped like a truncated square pyramid of height h=2.0 mh = 2.0\,\text{m}. The top face is a square of side a=1.0 cma = 1.0\,\text{cm} and the bottom face is a square of side b=3.0 cmb = 3.0\,\text{cm}. Current flows vertically from the top face to the bottom face. If the material resistivity is ρ=2.0×10−5 Ω⋅m\rho = 2.0 \times 10^{-5}\,\Omega\cdot\text{m}, calculate the total resistance.
