A length of $\# 8$ copper wire (radius $=1.63 \mathrm{mm} )$ has a mass of 24.0 $\mathrm{kg}$ and a resistance of 2.061 ohm per $\mathrm{km}(\Omega / \mathrm{km}) .$ What is the overall resistance of the wire?
Added by Andrea P.
Step 1
Given: - Mass = 24.0 kg - Density of copper = 8.96 g/cm^3 Convert mass to grams: 24.0 kg * 1000 g/kg = 24000 g Calculate volume: Volume = 24000 g / 8.96 g/cm^3 = 2678.57 cm^3 Show more…
