Question:

Would it be possible for a person to safely hang from this wire? Assume that the hands are \(15 \mathrm{~cm}\) apart, and assume a skin resistance of \(2200 \Omega\).

Concern a high-voltage transmission line. Such lines are made of bare wire; they are not insulated. Assume that the wire is \(100 \mathrm{~km}\) long, has a resistance of \(7.0 \Omega\), and carries \(200 \mathrm{~A}\).
