STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Sag of Cable at Midway between Supports = Uniformly Distributed Load*(Cable Span^2)/(8*Cable Tension for UDL)
f = q*(L_span^2)/(8*T_{cable udl})
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Sag of Cable at Midway between Supports - (Measured in Meter) - Sag of Cable at Midway between Supports is vertical sag at midpoint of 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.
Cable Tension for UDL - (Measured in Newton) - Cable Tension for UDL is the total tension in cable for uniformly distributed load on 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
Cable Tension for UDL: 56.25 Kilonewton --> 56250 Newton (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

f = q*(L_span^2)/(8*T_{cable udl}) --> 10000*(15^2)/(8*56250)

Evaluating ... ...

f = 5

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

5 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

5 Meter <-- Sag of Cable at Midway between Supports

What is Cables?

Cables can be made up of mild steel and it have high strength. Structural cables are made of a series of small strands twisted or bound together to form a much larger cable. Steels cable are either spiral strands, where circulars rods are twisted together and “Glued” using a polymer.
