66 cubic centimetres of silver is drawn into a wire 1 mm in diameter. The length of the wire in metres will be:
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Let the length of the wire be h.
| Radius = | 1 | mm | = | 1 | cm. | Then, |
| 2 | 20 |
 |
22 | x | 1 | x | 1 | x h = 66. |
| 7 | 20 | 20 |
| h = |
 |
66 x 20 x 20 x 7 |  |
= 8400 cm = 84 m. |
| 22 |

From where d 22/7 came?

Its formula pai*r^2*h.
Pai's value is 22/7.
I'm not gettng the sign of pai in computer. Ok.

When 1mm diameter is converted into radius it is .5 mm or .5/1000 meter.

Simple. The volume is given in mm and the length in meters. Hence the length should be minimal.

Can anybody say me how did we get 1/20?

@ Rashmi,
1cm=10milimeter
to convert mm into cm we have to multiply it by 10

Please tell why the shape of wire is considered as cylinder?
Mystery said:

@Ayush.
Because the wire is so small people don't tend to think of it as a cylinder but it is.
It is long and has very small radius!

Actaully wire is of the form:: CYCLINDER
we know,
volume of cyclinder = π*r^2* h----------- (1)
r-radius
h-height(lenth)
Given
Diameter(d)=1mm
so r=d/2
r=(1/2)mm
r=(1/20)cm
Substitute in Eqn (1)
22/7 * (1/20)^2 *h =66 (given)
h =66 x 20 x 20 x 7/22
= 8400 cm = 84 m.

1cm = 10 millimeter.
To convert km into cm we have to multiply it by 10.
