The main information we have to use here is the density of gold. From literature, the density of gold at room temperature is 19.32 g/cm³. To determine the mass, let's calculate the volume first. A wire is in the shape of a cylinder. Thus, the volume would be
V = πd²h/4
V = π(0.175 cm)²(1×10⁵ cm)/4
V = 2,405.28 cm³
Density = mass/volume
19.32 g/cm³ = Mass/2,405.28 cm³
Mass = 46,470 g gold wire
