Transmission Lines and Health. Currents in dc transmission lines can be 100 A or higher. Some people are concerned that the elec

tromagnetic fields from such lines near their homes could pose health dangers. For a line that has current 170 A and a height of 8.0 m above the ground, what magnetic field does the line produce at ground level? Express your answer in teslas and as a percentage of the earth’s magnetic field, which is 0.50 G. Is this value cause for worry?

Calculate the magnetic field strength at the ground. Treat the transmission line as infinitely long. The magnetic field strength is then given by:

B = μ₀I/(2πr)

B = magnetic field strength, μ₀ = magnetic constant, I = current, r = distance from line

Given values:

μ₀ = 4π×10⁻⁷H/m, I = 170A, r = 8.0m

Plug in and solve for B:

B = 4π×10⁻⁷(170)/(2π(8.0))

B = 4.25×10⁻⁶T

The earth's magnetic field strength is 0.50G or 5.0×10⁻⁵T. Calculate the ratio of the line's magnetic field strength to earth's magnetic field strength:

4.25×10⁻⁶/(5.0×10⁻⁵)

= 0.085

= 8.5%

The transmission line's magnetic field strength is 8.5% of that of earth's natural magnetic field. This is no cause for worry.

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

F_f=840N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Weight of fireman W_f= 87.5kg

Pole distance D=4.10m

Final speed is V_f 1.75m/s

Generally the equation for velocity is mathematically represented as

v^2 = v_0^2 + 2 a d

Therefore Acceleration a

a'= v^2 / 2 d

a'= 0.21m/s^2

Generally the equation for Frictional force F_f is mathematically given as

F_f=m*a

F_f=m*(g-0.21)

F_f=87.5*(9.81-0.21)

Therefore

F_f=840N

A violin with string length 32 cm and string density 1.5 g/cm resonates in its fundamental with the first overtone of a 2.0-m or
love history [14]

Answer:

T=1022.42 N

Explanation:

Given that

l = 32 cm ,μ = 1.5 g/cm

L =2 m  ,V= 344 m/s

The pipe is closed so n= 3 ,for first over tone

f=\dfrac{nV}{4L}

f=\dfrac{3\times 344}{4\times 2}

f= 129 Hz

The tension in the string given as

T = f²(4l²) μ

Now by putting the values

T = f²(4l²) μ

T = 129² x (4 x 0.32²)  x 1.5 x  10⁻³ x 100

T=1022.42 N

Calculate the distance travel if it accelerates from 0 to 27.8 meters per second in 2.5 seconds
luda_lava [24]

The distance travel is 69.5 meters.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given datas are as follows

Speed = 27.8 meters / second

Time = 2.5 seconds

The formula to calculate the speed using distance and time is

Speed = Distance ÷ Time (units)

Then Distance = Speed × Time (units)

Distance = (27.8 × 2.5) meters          

Distance = 69.50 meters

Therefore the distance travelled is 69.50 meters.
