A 2-wire d.c. distributor 129 m long is uniformly loaded with 1.4 A/m. Resistance of single wire is 0.00089 /m. If the distributor is fed at one end, calculate the maximum voltage drop. Also, compute for the voltage drop at a distance of 56 m from the feeding point. If the maximum voltage drop is 10% of the sending-end voltage, compute for the voltage at the sending-end Va and receiving-end Vb.
