  1. Radius of the sphere, r = 9 cm

    Volume of the sphere, V = (4/3)r3

    = (4/3)××93

    = 12××81

    = 972 cm3

    Diameter of the wire = 2 mm

    So radius of the wire = 2/2 = 1 mm = 0.1 cm

    Since the sphere is melted and drawn into a wire, volume remains the same.

    Volume of the wire, r2h = 972

    ×0.12 ×h =972

    h = 972/0.12

    h = 972/0.01

    h = 97200 cm

    h = 972 m

    Hence the length of the wire is 972 m.
