What kind of force is present in stretched strings rope and cables?
That is called "tension".
What are pylons used for?
can pylons have an effect on the TV proformance
Why are the cables attached to the pylons with the glass connectors rather than metal ones?
Glass is an insulator and will not allow a current to flow through it. With metal, which conducts electricity, the current would flow through them to the towers and cause short circuits,
What are the forces exerted on a yoyo hanging motionless on a string?

Why aren't the cables between pylons covered in plastic?
Household wires and electricity flexes are covered in plastic so that you do not touch the metal core by accident as it carries the electricity. But the overhead lines carried by pylons and in substations are not insulated at all as any way they are out of reach and insulating them adds up unnecessary costs. Pylons have ceramic or glass insulators to support the overhead lines so that electricity is kept away from the pylon itself.

What is a pylon cable?
pylons are made of steel as it is a strong metal but cables themselves are copper. ps this is a terribe website
What tower supports a bridge cable?
In a standard suspension bridge the cables are supported by a Bridge Pylon or series of bridge pylons. The cables are supported upon these pylons and they serve to reduce the tension forces that would be required at the cable anchorages had the cables simply been installed straight across the bridge span.
When electricians hang new power lines on a hot day they must not hang them too tight why?
If hung in hot weather, the cables will be in an expanded state and longer in length. Due to contraction of the cables in following cold weather, the cables will become shorter and could damage the connections on the poles or pylons. The loop between poles and pylons take this expansion and contraction of cable length into account.

What is a cable-stayed bridge?
A cable-stayed bridge is one where the deck is 'held up' by steel tensile cables which fan out from the bridge pylons or towers.

What type of bridge has the roadway hanging from cables that are usually supported by towers?
A suspension bridge.
Do heavy storms cause powercuts?
Heavy storms, ice and snow, often cause powercuts, bringing down cables, poles and, in extreme winter weather, causing the collapse of pylons.
What is the description of a suspension?
There were 2 towers, and cables would be hanging from the towers. Hangers(or stringers) would be hanging from the cables. The hangers and the towers combined would hold up the deck which at the side, gets connected to the anchor. On top of the anchor is the anchorage, which holds up the cables from the sides. That is a simple description of a suspension bridge.
When was Pylons - Web framework - created?
Pylons - Web framework - was created in 2005.
How many pylons are there in the national grid?
In the National Grid there are 876 thousand pylons.
