a copper wire of diameter 6mm is evenly wrapped on a cylinder of length 15cm and diameter 49cm to cover its whole surface . find the length and volume of the wire. if the specific gravity of copper be 9kg per cu cm , find the weight of the wire.

Diameter of copper wire = 6 mm i.e. its radius = 3 mm
Length of cylinder = 15 cm = 150 mm
Diameter of cylinder = 49 cm = 490 mm

Number of turns of copper wire = 1506=25
Length of one turn = 2π4902=490×227=1540 mm
So total length of copper wire = 25×1540 mm=38500mm
Therefore volume of copper wire = π×32×38500 mm3=1089000 mm3

Volume ( in cubic centimetres ) = 1089 cm3
Specific gravity of wire = 9kg/cm3
So weight of wire = 1089×9kg=9801kg

The quantity of the cylinder = pie*radius^2*height =3.14*5^2*15 =3.14*25*15 =1177.5
