Catenary Parameter for UDL on Catenary Parabolic Cable Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Catenary Parameter = (Tension at Supports/Uniformly Distributed Load)-Maximum Sag
c = (T_s/q)-d
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Catenary Parameter - (Measured in Meter) - Catenary Parameter is factor found when load in increased due to self weight.
Tension at Supports - (Measured in Newton) - Tension at Supports is the tension due to loading on supports.
Uniformly Distributed Load - (Measured in Newton per Meter) - Uniformly distributed Load (UDL) is a load that is distributed or spread across the whole region of an element whose magnitude of the load remains uniform throughout the whole element.
Maximum Sag - (Measured in Meter) - Maximum Sag is the maximum catenary or the greatest amount of sag that can be allowed in the cable system.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Tension at Supports: 210 Kilonewton --> 210000 Newton (Check conversion here)
Uniformly Distributed Load: 10 Kilonewton per Meter --> 10000 Newton per Meter (Check conversion here)
Maximum Sag: 1.44 Meter --> 1.44 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

c = (T_s/q)-d --> (210000/10000)-1.44

Evaluating ... ...

c = 19.56

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

19.56 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

19.56 Meter <-- Catenary Parameter

(Calculation completed in 00.006 seconds)

What is Catenary?

Catenary is the curve that an idealized hanging chain or cable assumes under its own weight when supported only at its ends. The catenary curve has a U-like shape, superficially similar in appearance to a parabolic arch, but it is not a parabola.

What is Uniformly Distributed Load (UDL)?

A uniformly distributed load (UDL) is a load that is distributed or spread across the whole region of an element such as a beam or slab. In other words, the magnitude of the load remains uniform throughout the whole element.
