Length of the cylinder = 24 cm

Diameter ofcopper wire = 4 m

One round of the wire will cover the surface of cylinder by 4 mm

Therefore, the number of rounds of wire to cover the length of cylinder

Now, distance of cylinder = 20 cm

Therefore, length of wire in one round = circumference of base of the cylinder

= 2straight pir =22 over 7 cross times 20 equals 440 over 7 space c m

Length of wire for covering the whole surface of cylinder = length of wire in 60 rounds

equals 60 cross times 440 over 7 equals 3771.428 space c m

Radius of copper wire = fraction numerator 0.4 over denominator 2 end fraction= 0.2cm

Therefore, volume of wire = straight pir2h equals 22 over 7 cross times open parentheses 0.2 close parentheses squared cross times 3771.428 equals 474.122 space c u. space c m

Weight of wire = volume × density = 474.122 × 8.68 = 4115.37 gm = 4.11537 kg
