Answer

$12.4\%$

Work Step by Step

For copper, use the same formula to find volume per cubic meter $V_{Cu} = \frac{m N_A(4/3 \pi r^3)}{M_{Cu}} $ Where $m = 8960kg$ $N_A$ is $6.022 \times 10^{23}/mol$ $r = 135.0 \times 10^{-12}m$ $M_Cu = 63.5g/mol$ So, $V_{Cu} = \frac{(8960 kg)(6.022 \times 10^{23}/mol)4/3 \pi (135.0 \times 10^{-12}m)^3}{63.5g/mol} $ $V_{Cu} = 0.1876m^3$ Fraction available for conduction is $1-(V_{Cu}/1.00 m^3)$ $ = 1- 0.1876 = 0.124 $ $ = 12.4\%$
