As illustrated in the accompanying figure, copper cable with a diameter of ½inch is to be wrapped in a circular helix around a cylinder that has a 12- inch diameter. What length of cable (measured along its centerline) will make one complete turn around the cylinder in a distance of 20 inches (between centerlines) measured parallel to the axis of the cylinder?
