A copper rode of diameter 2 cm and length 10 cm is drown into a wire of uniform thickness and length 10 m. Find the thickness of the wire.

Given,


Diameter of the copper Rod = 2cm


Length of the Rod = 10 cm


Length of the wire = 10 m = 1000cm


So here we have,


Radius of the copper rod = 1 cm


Let suppose the radius of the wire = r


Volume of the rod = volume of the wire


πr2h = πr2h


1 × 1 × 10 = 1000 × r


10 = 1000r


r = = 0.1 cm


The diameter of the wire = 2r = 2 × 0.1 = 0.2 cm


So, the thickness of the wire is 0.2 cm or 2mm.
