This formula uses 4 Variables
Variables Used
Cable Tension for UDL - (Measured in Newton) - Cable Tension for UDL is the total tension in cable for uniformly distributed load on cable.
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.
Cable Span - (Measured in Meter) - Cable Span is total length of cable in horizontal direction.
Sag of Cable at Midway between Supports - (Measured in Meter) - Sag of Cable at Midway between Supports is vertical sag at midpoint of cable.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Uniformly Distributed Load: 10 Kilonewton per Meter --> 10000 Newton per Meter (Check conversion ​here)
Cable Span: 15 Meter --> 15 Meter No Conversion Required
Sag of Cable at Midway between Supports: 5 Meter --> 5 Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Tcable udl = q*(Lspan^2)/(8*f) --> 10000*(15^2)/(8*5)
Evaluating ... ...
Tcable udl = 56250
