  1. A solid spherical copper ball, whose diameter is 14 cm, is melted and converted into a wire having diameter equal to 14 cm. The length of the wire is
    1. 27 cm
    2. 16
      cm
      3

    3. 15 cm
    4. 28
      cm
      3
Correct Option: D

Volume of the solid sphere

=
4
πr³
3

=
4
π × 7 × 7 × 7 cu.cm.
3

If the length of wire (cylindrical) be h cm, then
πR²h =
4
× 7 × 7 × 7
3

⇒ 7 × 7 × h =
4
× 7 × 7 × 7
3

⇒ h =
28
cm.
