Given that
Total length of cable L = 8.3 km
resistance of each wire of cable Rc = 14 ohm/km
resistance of wire and short when measure from east end R1 = 170 ohm
resistance of wire and short when measure from west end R2 = 110 ohm
Let suppose there are two points P and Q on both wires where conducting path exists
So total resistance of left side part (APQB) of cable = 110 ohm
Rap + Rpq + Rqb = 110 ohm
Rap=Rqb = 14 ohm/ km = 14x
Rpq = R
so
14x +R +14x = 110
28x + R = 110 --------------------(1)
Now right side of cable
Rpc +Rcd +Rdq = 170 ohm
Rpc = Rdq = 14(8.3-x)
Rcd = R
so
14(8.3-x) + R + 14(8.3-x) = 170
R -28x + 232.4 = 170
28x - R = 62.4 ---------------------(2)
adding equation (1) and (2)
56x = 172.4
x = 3.07 km
putting this value in equation (1)
28(3.07) +R = 110
R = 24.04 ohm
Good Luck !

An underground cable 11 km long extends east to west and consists of two parallel wires, each of which has resistance 13 Ω/km. An electrical short develops at distance x from the west end when a conducting path of resistance R connects the wires (see the figure). The resistance of the wires and the short is 110 Ω when measured from the east end and 220 Ω when measured from the west end. What are (a) x and (b) R?
Problem #5 A communications cable is 2.00 km long and consists of two parallel wires separated by an insulator. At some point in the wire, the insulation has been crushed and the 2 wires are able to touch. You have the job of finding where the break is in the insulation occurs. You go to one end of the line and connect a 9.00 V battery to one wire, and the other terminal of the battery to one terminal of...
1. A pole is held vertically by attaching wires at a height of 13.4 m above the ground. The other end of each wire is anchored in the ground at a distance of 9.54 m from the base of the pole. The pole makes a right angle with the ground. What is the length of each wire? 2. A bug crawls 2.25 m along the base of a wall. Upon reaching a corner, the bug's direction of travel changes from...
"Darn! I have to call Pharmacy again," Lisa, staff nurse on 6 East, muttered under her breath. "This is the third time today and it's not even noon!" She left the Omni-Cell Cart in the medication room and proceeded to the phone at the nurses station. She dialed the familiar number - she had it memorized of course - and thought, "There has to be a better way." For the past few days, she had noticed an increase in the...

x=L The rail gun consists of two thick conducting rails connected to a power supply and there is a magnetic field assumed to be uniform and constant in the direction shown. A short conducting bar that is to be (or carry) the projectile is placed across the bars at x -0. The current flows through the bars as shown. The magnetic force on the bar causes it...
