A ductile metal wire has resistance R. Part A What will be the resistance of this wire in terms of R if it is stretched to three times its original length, assuming that the density and resistivity of the material do not change when the wire is stretched. (Hint: The amount of metal does not change, so stretching out the wire will affect its cross-sectional area. ) Express your answer in terms of R.R′ = R
