Question
Download Solution PDFThe conductor of an overhead transmission line has cross-sectional area of 2 cm2. If the specific gravity of the conductor material is 9.9 gm/cm3 and wind pressure is 1.5 kg/m length. The effective weight per metre of length (kg/m) of the conductor will be __________.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

The effective weight per meter of the conductor is calculated by:
Wmaterial is the weight of the conductor material per meter
Wmaterial = Specific Gravity × Volume of 1 m conductor
Wwind is the wind pressure acting on the conductor per meter
Calculation
Given, A = 2 cm2
Specific Gravity = 9.9 gm/cm3
Wwind = 1.5 kg/m
Wmaterial = 9.9 × 2 × 100 = 1980 gm = 1.98 kg/m
\(W_{t}=\sqrt{(1.98)^2+(1.5)^2}\)
\(W_{t}=2.48\space kg/m\)
