Answer:
surface temperature = 128.74⁰c
Explanation:
Given data
diameter of cable = 5 mm = 0.005 m
length of cable = 4 m
T∞ ( surrounding temperature ) = 20⁰c
voltage drop across cable ( dv )= 60 V
current across cable = 1.5 A
attached to this answer is the comprehensive analysis and solution to the problem.
The assumption made is not a good one since the calculated Ts ( surface temperature ) is very much different from the assumed Ts
