Question:
A cubic cm of gold is drawn into a wire 0.1 mm in diameter, find the length of the wire.
Solution:
Let x be the length of wire.
Clearly, the volume of gold = volume of wire.
{Volume of gold = 1 cm3 = 1000 mm}
$1000=\pi\left(\frac{0.1}{2}\right)^{2} \times x$
$\frac{22}{7} \times \frac{1}{400} \times x=1000$
$=\frac{1400 \times 1000}{11}$
$=127300 \mathrm{~mm}$
$x=127.3 \mathrm{~m}$
Hence, the length of wire is 127.3 m.
