Question 1162057: Check my calculations:
A length of wire .3648 inches in diameter is made from a cu. ft. of copper. Determine length.
Wire is a cylinder.
Volume = pi * r^2 * height (or length).
Cu. ft. = 1728 cu. in.
3.1416 * .1824^2 * h = 1728
.10452h = 1728
h = 16532.72 = 16533 in. = 1377.75 = 1378 ft.
