In a circuit for finding the resistance of a galvanometer by the half-deflection method,a $6\,V$ battery and a high resistance of $11\,k\Omega$ are used. The figure of merit of the galvanometer is $60\,\mu A/\text{division}$. In the absence of shunt resistance,the galvanometer produces a deflection of $\theta = 9$ divisions when current flows in the circuit. The value of the shunt resistance that can cause the deflection of $\theta/2$ is closest to .................. $\Omega$.
