Physics Problem but I know you math genius' got this!!!
a swimmer at distance D= 35.0m from a lightning strike to the water, with current, I = 78kA. The water has resistivity 30Ωm, the width of the swimmer along a radial line from the strike is 0.70m, and his resitance across that width is 4.00 kΩ. Assume that the current spreads through the water over a hemisphere centered on the strike point. What is the current through the swimmer?

This actually does require some knowledge of physics, so you would probably be better off posting it in the Physics group here on OpenStudy.

lol ok I put it there but there aren't many people in the room so I thought id have better luck here. guess not though its been up for almost 30 min.
