Correct Answer: $\sqrt{13}$


Solution : Let the radius and height of the rod be $r_1$ and $h_1$, and the radius and height of the wire be $r_2$ and $h_2$.
Volume of the rod = Volume of the wire
$\pi r_1^2h_1=\pi r_2^2h_2$
⇒ $5^2\times 52=r_2^2\times 100$
⇒ $r_2^2=\frac{25\times52}{100}$
⇒ $r_2^2=13$
⇒ $r_2=\sqrt{13}\mathrm{\ cm}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\sqrt{13}$.
