Question 1157138
How many feet of copper wire with diameter 1/12
inch can be made from one cubic foot of copper?
-------------
1 cu ft = 1728 cu inches.
---
Vol of the wire = pi*r^2*h ---- h = length.
------
---> h = 1728/(pi*(1/24)^2) inches
h = 26401.9 feet
Just over 5 miles.
==============
PS  1/12" diameter is larger than AWG 12, which is 0.0808" dia.
