• The radius of a piece of wire is decreased to one -half.If the volume remains the same , then the length will increase
  • 2 times
  • 3 times
  • 4 times
  • 5 times

Show the explanation plz

Let the original radius and length of the piece of wire be r and h respectively and the radius and length of the new piece of wire be R and H respectively.

According to the question

R = r/2

and volume is the same

⇒ πr2h = πR2H

r2h = R2H

r2h = (r/2)2H

r2h = r2H/4

h = 4h

Hence, length will increase 4 times.
