The weight exerted by a force load will vary according to difference conditions
a. static
b. dynamic
c. fixed - CORRECT ANSWER -b. dynamic
True or false: A pole is an example of a static force load - CORRECT ANSWER -True
True or false: A transformer is an example of a dynamic force loadTr - CORRECT ANSWER -False
The pulling force of a conductor as it tends to pull a pole or structure in line with adjacent poled
or structures is called tension - CORRECT ANSWER -bisect

of equal length on either side - CORRECT ANSWER -False
True or false: For rigging, the minimum safety factor recommended is 10. - CORRECT ANSWER -
False

When conductors are moved to a taller pole, the weight exerted by the conductors will..
a. increase
b. decrease
c. increase only when the conductor is changed
d. decrease because the conductors are further from the ground - CORRECT ANSWER -a.
increase
