Chapter 20, Problem 78GP

(choose chapter or problem)

Two long straight aluminum wires, each of diameter 0.42 mm, carry the same current but in opposite directions. They are suspended by 0.50-m-long strings as shown in Fig. 20–67. If the suspension strings make an angle of \(3.0^{0}\) with the vertical and are hanging freely, what is the current in the wires?
