    This document discusses the maximum length of copper wire that can hang based on its material properties and surrounding environment. It provides equations to calculate the maximum length of copper wire hanging in air based on the weight of the wire and material stress limit. A similar calculation is shown to find the maximum length of copper wire hanging in sea water, accounting for buoyancy. The document is authored by Engineer Fernando Mendoza A and from the company LION NAVAL ARCHITECTS SA DE CV.
