Here's the equation you use: Density = mass/volume
1) 5.2g/cm^3 = m/3.7cm^3
2) m = 5.2g/cm^3 x 3.7cm^3
3) m = 19.24g
You can check the answer by plugging it in
19.24g/3.7cm^3
= 5.2g/cm^3
Nichrome wire. That's the stuff that toasters are made from. The resistance is pretty high, considering the diameter. 1 meter is at about the same guage as that listed below for copper is about 96 ohms.
Most of the time you are trying to use wire with the least resistance.
A meter of copper has a listed resistance of 0.024 ohms / meter. The wire is a 19 guage wire which makes it pretty thin.
===============
I'm not sure what you are asking. If want the resistance of something in terms of what would increase the resistance of the same material for both calculations then
Rule 1: It you decrease the wire diameter, you increase the resistance
Rule 2: If you increase the length of the wire, you increase the resistance.
Both rules assume you are using something like copper.
True !! Hope I helped you out a bit!
