A copper rod of diameter 1 cm and length 8 cm is drawn into a wire of length 18 m of uniform thickness. Find the thickness of the wire.

Diameter of copper wire =1 cm


Radius cm


Height of copper rod =Length of copper rod =8 cm


Volume of rod



Let the radius of wire be ‘r’ cm


Height of the wire =18 m =0.18 cm


Volume of cylinder wire = Volume of cylindrical rod

r cm


r = 1/3 mm


Diameter of cross section = (1/3) × 2 mm


= 0.67 mm
