The diameter of a metallic sphere is 60 m. The sphere is melted and drawn into a wire of uniformcross-section, if the length of the wire is 36 m, find its radius.

Answer»

Answer:

The METALLIC sphere is Maybe 6m not 60

The wire is in the SHAPE of a cylinder. 

Since the sphere is melted and a cylindrical wire is formed, their volumes are EQUAL.  

Volume of a sphere =34πr3

As the diameter of the sphere is 6 cm, its radius r=3 cm

Volume of a Cylinder =πR2h

Length of the wire h=36m=3600cm

Hence, Volume of sphere = Volume of the wire 

34πr3=πR2h

R2=1001

R=101=0.1cm

Hence, radius of the cross-section of the wire =0.1cm
