How do you calculate the sag between two transmission poles?
To calculate the sag between two transmission poles, you can use the catenary equation which considers the weight of the span wire and the tension in the wire. The formula takes into account the span length, weight per unit length of the wire, and the tension in the wire to determine the sag. It is important to ensure that the sag is within acceptable limits for safety and operational purposes.
Why the motion of simple pendulum is slow at equator?
A pendulum will swing slowest when closest to the equator. Why is this?
The time period, T, of the swing of a pendulum is given by:
T=2π√(l/g)
where l is the length of the pendulum and g is acceleration due to gravity.
Because the Earth is spinning, there is a bulge at the equator and the poles are
slightly flattened. Hence on the equator the radius to the centre of the earth is
greater than the radius at the poles.
The equatorial radius is 6378.1km while the polar radius is 6356.8 km
The value of g at the Earth's surface relates to the values of the Earth's radius, r, at
that point using an inverse square law ie g is proportional to 1/r2
At the North Pole, g is about 9.83m/s2, while at the equator, g is smaller, at only
9.79m/s2 .
So the period of a pendulum will be longer (i.e. slowest) at the equator than at the
pole
How many miles away is Wilmington DE from the equator?
The center of the downtown intersection of N/S Market St and MLK Blvd
is 2,743.6 miles north of the equator.
My map says that Brandywine Creek State Park is also part of Wilmington.
Way up there, the intersection of Montchanin Rd, Adams Dam Rd, and
Thompson's Bridge Rd is 2,748 miles from the equator.
State the unique characteristics of water bodies in equatorial zone?
The unique characteristics of water bodies in the equatorial zone is that they are polar and geometry bent.
As a result of the Coriolis Effect, an air mass moving from North Pole toward the equator will?
Turn towards the right
What is the name for a piece of equipment that measures a ships distance from the equator?
The usual device is a sextant, which measures the altitude (angle above the horizon) of stars or the Sun crossing the meridian (i.e. due south). The latitude can then be calcuated after looking up the declination of the object in tables, for example in the Nautical Almanac.
A star (or the Sun) on the (celestial) equator has an altitude of 90 minus the latitude, so in general a star's altitude is 90 - latitude + declination, when it is due south. The ship's latitude is therefore 90 - altitude + declination.
The distance from the equator in nautical miles is the latitude (in degrees) times 60.
What causes the global convection current between the equations and the poles?
Surface currents are caused by wind, and affected by the rotation of the Earth and the gravity of the moon (tides). When the oceans are deep, convection within the layers can also affect the flow of currents.
* While wind currents are greatly affected by uneven heating of the Earth's surface, there is no corresponding heating of the ocean bottom by the Sun. So currents do not form spontaneously at depth.
What is a Bhattacharyya distance?
A Bhattacharyya distance is another term for a Hellinger distance, a measure used to quantify the similarity between two probability distributions.
What is the invisible line that splits the Earth in half?
The Equator is the primary one, but any line of longitude will split the Earth into two equal halves.
Why is the ship forced to go as far south as the equator?
That question might very well have different answers for different ships.
Pick a ship, tell us where it started out from, where it's going, and what
it's using for propulsion, and we might be able to speculate on a reason
for the course they selected.
