5. What length of a 22 gauge American Wire Gauge copper wire isneeded to make a resistance of 500 O?

Not sure if I'm on the right track?
R= ?(L/A)

R = 500O
? = 1.77 x 10-8 Ohms at 20° C
diameter of 22 gauge american wire = .0006m

A conducting material with resistivity is shaped into a wire of length l with a tapered cross section that decreases from radius r1 on the left end to r2 on its right end (Fig. F28.82). If the current density in the wire is constant as a function of the horizontal distance x along the wire, what is the resistance of this tapered wire?

In Chris Van Allsburg's story The Polar Express, a boy takes a magical train ride to the North Pole. Near the pole, assume the strength of the Earth's magnetic field is 5.02×10-5 T and the field lines are vertical (as they actually are at the nearby magnetic south pole). Also assume that at the end of the track, the two steel rails are connected by a conducting wire. Each axled pair of steel wheels on the train closes a circuit with the end of the track. The width of the track is the standard US/Canadian gauge, 1.44 m, and the train is moving at 26.0 m/s. (a) What emf is generated in the rails ahead of the train? (b) In part a, you are not told how many pairs of wheels the train has. Why don't you need to know?
