Find the length of 13.2 kg of copper wire of diameter 4 mm, when 1 cubic cm of copper weighs 8.4 gm.
Given data is as follows:
Weight of copper wire = 13.2 kg
Diameter = 4 mm
Density $=8.4 \mathrm{gm} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}$
We have to find the length of the copper wire.
Given is the diameter of the wire which is 4 mm. Therefore,
r = 2 mm
Let us convert $\mathrm{r}$ from millimeter to centimeter, since density is in terms of $\mathrm{gm} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}$. Therefore,
r = 210 cm
Also, weight of the copper wire is given in kilograms. Let us convert into grams since density is in terms of $\mathrm{gm} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}$, Therefore, we have,
Weight of copper wire = 13.2 × 1000 gm
= 13200 gm
We know that
Volume × Density = Weight
Therefore, $\pi r^{2} h \times 8.4=13.2$
22/7 × 2/10 × 2/10 × h × 8 .4
h = 12500 cm
h = 125 m
Hence, the length of the copper wire is 125 metres.
