A number of rounds are calculated by :

                                                           =\ \frac{Height\ of\ cylinder }{Diameter\ of\ wire}

                                                         =\ \frac{12 }{0.3}\ =\ 40\ rounds

Thus the length of wire in 40 rounds will be   =\ 40\times 2\pi \times 5\ =\ 400 \pi\ cm\ =\ 12.57\ m

And the volume of wire is: Area of cross-section  \times  Length of wire 

                                       =\pi \times (0.15)^2\times 1257.14

                                       =\ 88.89\ cm^3

Hence the mass of wire is.=\ 88.89\ \times 8.88\ =\ 789.41\ gm
