66 cubic centimetres of silver is drawn into a wire 1 mm in diameter. The length of the wire in metres will be:
84
90
168
336
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

1/2 is divided by 10.

1/2/10 = 1/2/10 (1/2/10/1 same thing).

Then.

1/2 * 1/10 = 1/20.

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

1cm = 10 millimeter.

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

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