The mass of one foot of 8mm wire will be given by the volume times the density. The volume is the area times the length.
Mass = (area*length)*density
= ((π/4)*(8 mm)^2)*(12 in*(25.4 mm/in))*(1 cm/(10 mm))^3*(8.94 g/cm^3)
= (π*8^2*12*25.4*8.94/(4*10^3) g
= 43.598592π g
≈ 136.969 g
1 pound is 453.59237 grams, so 170 lb = 77,110.7029 g
77110.7029 g/(136.969 g/ft) ≈ 562.98 ft
