Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A cable spans 40 meters between two supports and sags 8 meters. Calculate the sag-to-span ratio and the horizontal thrust.
💡 Hint: Focus first on calculating the ratio correctly.
Question 2
If a uniform load of 500N/m is applied to a cable of length 30m, determine the maximum tension in the cable.
💡 Hint: You might have to calculate r based on the height and span of the cable.
