Question -

The diameter of a metallic sphere is equal to 9 cm. It is melted and drawn into a long wire of diameter 2 mm having uniform cross-section. Find the length of the wire.



Answer -

Given,

Radius of the sphere =9/2 cm

So, its volume = 4/3πr3 = 4/3 π(9/2)3

And, the radius of thewire = 2 mm = 0.2 cm

Let the length of thewire = h cm

So, the volume of wire= πr2h = π(0.2)2h

Then, according to thequestion we have

Volume of wire =Volume of sphere

π(0.2)2h =4/3 π(9/2)3

h = 4 x 729/ (3 x 8 x0.01) = 12150 cm

Therefore, the lengthof the wire = 12150 cm
