Assume a 46 ft pole with a 24 in. circumference at the pole top and a 50 in. cırcumference at ground level. Also assume a wind velocity of 60 mph and an average span of 250 ft. The pole carries two crossarms, and each crossarm carries three conductors. The top crossarm is i ft below the pole top, and the lower crossarm is 2 ft below the top crossarm. Use hard-drawn copper conductors of 250 kcmil with 12 strands and 4/0 with 7 strands for the top and lower conductors, respectively. Assume that 6.5 ft of the pole is below the ground and find the total pressure of wind on pole and on conductors.

The drift speed of charge carriers in a conductor carrying current / is ngA where n is the number of mobile charge carriers per unit volume, q is the magnitude of the charge on each carrier, and A is the cross-sectional area of the conductor. The transmission line has a diameter of 2.00 cm so that its radius is r= 1.00 cm = 1.0 x 10 m and so that its cross-sectional area is A = nr? - n(1.0 x 10-2 m)² = n x 10-4 m2. In metallic conductors, the mobile charge carriers are electrons, each with a charge of magnitude q- e. We are given the density n of free electrons in this copper material per unit volume. Thus, the drift speed of the electrons is V = ngA c) x 1028 m-1.60 x 10-19 C)(T x 10-4 m2) x 10 m/s.
