Problem

The edges of a square pyramid are made out of wires which are conductively connected at all vertices. Compute the resistance across the opposite vertices on a diagonal of the base square, given that the resistance of one metre of the wire is 1 Ω, the height of the pyramid is √7 m and the base length is 2 m.
