How do I solve this problem using dimensional analysis? Copper can be drawn into thin wires. How many meters of 34-gauge wire (diameter = 6.304*10-3 in) can be produced from the copper in 5.01 lb of covelite, an ore of copper that contains 66% copper by mass. (Density of copper is 8.95 g/cm3, volume of cylinder = pi*r2h).
