This problem is the combination of two shape that is sphere and cylinder. To find answer of this question we need to use volume of sphere and volume of cylinder formulas. Problem number 17 from RS Aggarwal book exercise 17B, page number 810, chapter volume and surface area of solid.

  1. Given data,

    Diameter of sphere = 42 cm

    Radius of sphere = 21 cm

    Volume of sphere = [4/3] πr³

    = [4/3] π × 21³

    Diameter of wire = 2.8 cm

    Radius of wire = 1.4 cm

    length of the wire = l cm

    Volume of the wire = πr²l

    = π ×1. 4 ×1. 4 ×l

    Now,

    Volume of the sphere =  volume of the wire.

    ∴ [4/3] π × 21³ = π ×1. 4 ×1. 4 ×l

    [4/3]  × 21³ = 1. 4 ×1. 4 ×l

    l = ( [4/3]  × 21³) / 1.4 × 1. 4

    l = 6300 cm

    l = 63 m

    ∴ Length of the wire is 63m
