Best Answer

the current causes alternating magnetic fields which shake the wires and they get warm so snow and rain sizzle off the wires.

Can high tension wires emit any sound audible to the human ear?

I drove under high tension wires in a truck and could clearly hear a buzzing noise. I actually stopped the truck and sat under the wire for a moment to listen to the sound. As I recall it was a very humid day. I don't know if this is true but suspect the damp air had something to do with it.

Why is sound made when the wind blows through telephone wires?

1.The wind blows hard to create a sound so when the wind blows the wires start shaking and making another sound so together they make a loud sound. 2. When the wind blows through the telephone wires the wind blows the wires forcing them to vibrate. so technically because the wind makes the telephone wires vibrate. your welcome.


A bag of cement of weight 380N hangs from 3 wires two of the wires makes angles Angle1 56.5 degrees and angle2 22.1 degrees respectively if the system is at equilibrium what are all the 3 tension?

The system that you describe is said to be statically indeterminate since, there are more than 2 wires (minimum required to support the cement bag with inclined support).There are three unknowns in the system that is the tensile forces in the wires. You should use three equations as follows to solve this.Vertical equilibrium: Sum of vertical components of tension in all wires is equal to the weight of 380NHorizontal equilibrium: Sum of horizontal components of tension in all wires add to zerCompatibility condition: The vertical component of elongation of all wires is the same.Formulate the three equations and solve the algebraic equation to get the tension in each wire.
