Correct Answer: 4.5 cm
Solution : The volume of the copper sphere and the copper wire will be the same, as the sphere is melted and redrawn into the wire. The volume of a sphere $ = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$ The volume of a cylinder $ = \pi R^2 h$ Where $R$ is the radius of the base of the cylinder and $h$ is the height (or length) of the cylinder. Given: r = 6 cm and R = 8 cm The volume of the sphere = the volume of the cylinder. $⇒\frac{4}{3}\pi (6)^3 = \pi (8)^2 h$ $⇒h= 4.5$ Hence, the correct answer is 4.5 cm.
