Q7 of 18 Page 13

The diameter of a metallic sphere is 6 cm. It is melted and drawn into a wire having diameter of the cross-section as 0.2 cm. Find the length of the wire.

Radius of a metallic sphere (r) = 6 cm/2 = 3 cm
Radius of the cross section (R) = 0.2 cm/2 = 0.1 cm
Volume of a cylinder = Volume of a metallic sphere
π R2h = π r3
(0.1)2h = × 33
h = = 3600 cm = 36 m
Therefore the length of the wire is 36 m.
