Composite materials with varying compositions exhibit resistance variations along their length, allowing for the creation of customizable resistance profiles. Let's consider a wire composed of a composite material aligned in the y-direction with a radius of 1.5 mm and a resistivity expressed as ρ(y) = (2.7 × 10 ^-4 Ω•m ) e^{[-(3.5 /m)• y]}, where y represents the distance from the lower end of the wire. Calculate the resistance of a 30.0 cm long wire.
