An isolated conducting sphere has a 15 cm radius. One wire carries a current of 1.0000046 A into it while another wire carries a
current of 1.0000000 A out of it. How long in seconds would it take for the sphere to increase in potential by 890 V?

Answer:
This value is less than the maximum tension of 500 lbs, making it safe for man to go to the tip flap
Explanation:
We must work on this problem using the rotational equilibrium equations and then they compared the tension values that the cable supports.
Let's start with fixing a reference system on the hinge of the flag, we take as positive the anti-clockwise turn
They indicate the weight of the pole W₁ = 120 lb and a length of L = 9 ft, the weight of the man W₂ = 150, we assume that the cable is at the tip of the pole
- L + W₂ L + W₁ L / 2 = 0
T_{y} = W₂ + W₁ / 2
T_{y} = 120 + 150/2
T_{y} = 195 lb
we use trigonometry to find the cable tension
sin 30 = T_{y} / T
T = T_{y} / sin 30
T = 195 / sin 30
T = 390 lb
This value is less than the maximum tension of 500 lbs, making it safe for man to go to the tip flap
T < 500 lb
