Answer:
1. 2.5 mm
2. 0.25 cm
Explanation:
Since the length of the 10 turns of the wire around the pencil is 25 mm, then;
1. the thickness of the wire = [tex]\frac{length of total turns}{number of turns}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{25}{10}[/tex]
= 2.5 mm
The thickness of the wire is 2.5 mm.
2. Since 10 mm = 1 cm, then;
25 mm = 2.5 cm
So that,
the thickness of the wire in centimetre = [tex]\frac{length of total turns}{number of turns}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{2.5}{10}[/tex]
= 0.25 cm
The thickness of the wire is 0.25 cm.
