problem 3: a solar cell is operating at 25°c where the output current is 1 a and the load voltage is 0.51 v. the series resistance of the cell is 20 mω and the parallel resistance is 2 kω.

Asolid round steel rod 6.25 mm in diameter and 375 mm long is rigidly bonded to the end of solid square brass rod 25 mm on a side and 300 mm long. the geometric axes of the bare are along the same line. an axial tensile force of 5.4 kn is applied at the extreme ends of the assembly. for steel e = 200 gpa and for brass e = 90 gpa. determine the total elongation for the assembly.
