Length of Cable for UDL on Parabolic Cable Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Cable Length = Cable Span+(8*(Maximum Sag^2)/(3*Cable Span))
Scable = Lspan+(8*(d^2)/(3*Lspan))
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Cable Length - (Measured in Meter) - Cable Length is the length measured along the catenary of cable.
Cable Span - (Measured in Meter) - Cable Span is total length of cable in horizontal direction.
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
Cable Span: 15 Meter --> 15 Meter No Conversion Required
Maximum Sag: 1.44 Meter --> 1.44 Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Scable = Lspan+(8*(d^2)/(3*Lspan)) --> 15+(8*(1.44^2)/(3*15))
Evaluating ... ...
Scable = 15.36864
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
15.36864 Meter --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
15.36864 Meter <-- Cable Length
(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)
