Q16 of 70 Page 21

The diameter of a copper sphere is 18 cm. The sphere is melted and is drawn into a long wire of uniform circular cross-section. If the length of the wire is 108 m, find its diameter.

Volume of a sphere = (4/3)πr3


Volume of a cylinder = πr2h


Given, diameter of a copper sphere is 18 cm. The sphere is melted and is drawn into a long wire of uniform circular cross-section. The length of the wire is 108 m.


Long wire can be assumed to be a cylinder.



⇒ r = 0.6 cm
