A triangle is constructed using the wires `AB, BC` and `CA` of same material and of resistance `alpha, 2alpha` and `3 alpha` respectively. Another wire of resistance `alpha//3` from `A` can make a sliding contact with wire `BC`. Find the maximum resistance of the network between point `A` and the point of sliding wire with `BC`.
