The sag in an overhead transmission line is given by:
\(S={WL^2\over 8T}\)
where, S = Sag
W = Weight per unit length of the conductors
L = Length of span
T = Tension of the conductor
From the above expression, we found that sag has no relation with the height of the supporting tower. Therefore, it is an INCORRECT statement.
Hence, the correct answer is option 1.
