Maximum Sag given Catenary Parameter for UDL on Catenary Parabolic Cable Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Variables Used

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.
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.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Catenary Parameter: 19.56 Meter --> 19.56 Meter No Conversion Required
Tension at Supports: 210 Kilonewton --> 210000 Newton (Check conversion here)
Uniformly Distributed Load: 10 Kilonewton per Meter --> 10000 Newton per Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

d = (-c)+(T_s/q) --> (-19.56)+(210000/10000)

Evaluating ... ...

d = 1.44

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.44 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.44 Meter <-- Maximum Sag

What is Sag?

The vertical distance between the straight line joining the points of consecutive supports and the lowest point of the conductor is called sag. The tighter the wire, the smaller is the sag and vice-versa.

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.
