- 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.
