A transmission line cable consists of 7 strands of identical copper conductors. The physical length of the cable is 6 km. But, because of the twist on each strand, the actual lengths of the conductors are increased by 4%. If the resistance of the cable is 10.9 Q at 20°C, what is its diameter in mm?
