Why do the telephone wires get slackened in summer and get tightened in winter?
Answer
Short Answer
In summers due to excessive heat, the temperature of the wire increases and wires expand. Also, Young’s modulus decreases and hence wires slack down. In winter, the temperature of wires decrease and wires contract. Hence, wires get tightened.
