A transmission line has a span of 250 m between supports, the supports being at the same level. The conductor has a cross-sectional area of 1-29 cm. The ultimate strength is 4220 kg/cm and factor of safety is 2. The wind pressure is 40 kg/cm. Calculate the height of the conductor above ground level a which it should be supported if a minimum clearance of 7m is to be kept between the ground and the [10-24 m conductor.
