A uniform wire is cut into 10 segments increasing in length in equal steps, the resitance of the shortest segment is R and the resistances of the other segments increase in steps of `8 Omega`. If the resistance of the longest segment is 2R, find the value of R and hence find the resistance of the original wire.
