2. What would the ohmic losses be over a one square foot by 33 foot
path through salt water?
Let's see, salt water conductivity is about 5 S/m, which is 1.524 S/ft.
So the *DC* resistance of that piece of sea water would be 1.524 * 33 /
(1 * 1) ~ 50 ohms. . .
Oops. The DC resistance would be 33 / (1 * 1) / 1.524 ~ 22 ohms.
