${\rm{R}} = \frac{{{{\rm{R}}_1}{{\rm{R}}_2}}}{{{{\rm{R}}_1} + {{\rm{R}}_2}}} = \frac{{\frac{{\rho  \times l}}{{\pi {{\rm{R}}^2}}} \times \frac{{2\rho  \times l}}{{\pi \left( {{{(2{\rm{R}})}^2} - {{\rm{R}}^2}} \right)}}}}{{\frac{{\rho l}}{{\pi {{\rm{R}}^2}}} + \frac{{2\rho l}}{{\left( {{{(2{\rm{R}})}^2} - {{\rm{R}}^2}} \right)}}}}$

$\frac{{\frac{{2{p^2}{l^2}}}{{3\pi {{\rm{R}}^4}}}}}{{\frac{{\rho l}}{{\pi {{\rm{R}}^2}}}\left( {1 + \frac{2}{3}} \right)}} = \frac{{2\rho {\rm{l}}}}{{3\pi {{\rm{R}}^2}}} \times \frac{3}{5}$
