a metal rod 1.o m long and 10milimmeeter in diameter is drawn out into wire 1.0mm indiameter. a. what is the length of the wire? b. compare the resistance of the rod with that of the wire
@Michele_Laino
here the volume of the wire has to to be equal to the volume of the metal rod
yess
so, being the volume V of a cylinder given by the subsequent formula: \[V = \frac{{\pi {D^2}}}{4} \times L\] where L is the length and D is the diameter of the cylinder, we can write: \[\Large \frac{{\pi \times {{10}^2}}}{4} \times {10^3} = \frac{{\pi \times {1^2}}}{4} \times L\] where L is the requested length. Please note that I have measured the diameters and the known length of the cylinder in millimeters
yes then whats nest
V is not given too
we have to compute the length L from that formula above
