4.3 A transmission-line cable with a length of 2 km consists of 19 strands of identical copper conductors, each 1.5 mm in diameter. Because of the twist of the strands, the actual length of each conductor is increased by 5%. Determine the resistance of the cable if the resistivity of copper is 1.72 µN-cm at 20°C.
