Assuming the earth's equator is a perfect circle and the bar rests on the surface, the bar length should be pi*(7926.41 miles + bar thickness). The bar thickness is the missing data.

OK. I'll ask.
So...... What constant temperature are you assuming? Or are you going to make it interesting and assume one temperature for the foundry location and a whole *bunch* of gradient temperatures around the 24,901.55 miles of rod that you're going to need?
