Most of the resistance of the human body comes from the skin, as the interior of the body contains aqueous solutions that are good electrical conductors. For dry skin, the resistance between a person's hands is typically \( 520 \mathrm{k} \Omega \). The skin is on average about \( 2.00 \mathrm{~mm} \) thick. We can model the body between the hands as a cylinder \( 1.80 \mathrm{~m} \) long and \( 15.0 \mathrm{~cm} \) in diameter with the skin wrapped around it. What is the resistivity \( \rho \) of the skin?
