Question 1170278: A portion of copper has the following description;
Length: 4 in.
Width: 2 in.
Thickness: 1/2 in.
The portion is formed into a wire 100 yards in length and uniform thickness. Determine wire diameter.
Volume of portion: 4 * 2 * .5 = 4 cu. in.
Wire length: 100 * 36 = 3600 in. (36 in. per yard).
Wire is a cylinder.
Volume of cylinder: Pi * r^2 * height (or length).
3.1416 * r^2 * 3600
