Sag of Parabola given Uniform Load Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Sag Length of Cable = Uniform Load*Span Length^2/(8*Prestressing Force)
Ls = wb*L^2/(8*F)
This formula uses 4 Variables
Variables Used
Sag Length of Cable - (Measured in Meter) - Sag Length of Cable is the length measured at Midway between Supports is vertical sag at midpoint of cable.
Uniform Load - (Measured in Newton per Meter) - Uniform Load is a load that is distributed or spread across the whole region of an element such as a beam or slab.
Span Length - (Measured in Meter) - Span Length is the end to end distance between any beam or slab.
Prestressing Force - (Measured in Kilonewton) - Prestressing Force is the force internally applied to the prestressed concrete section.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Uniform Load: 0.64 Kilonewton per Meter --> 640 Newton per Meter (Check conversion ​here)
Span Length: 5 Meter --> 5 Meter No Conversion Required
Prestressing Force: 400 Kilonewton --> 400 Kilonewton No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Ls = wb*L^2/(8*F) --> 640*5^2/(8*400)
Evaluating ... ...
Ls = 5
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
5 Meter --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
5 Meter <-- Sag Length of Cable
(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

What is Unbonded Post Tensioning?

Unbonded post-tensioning differs from bonded post-tensioning by allowing the tendons permanent freedom of longitudinal movement relative to the concrete. This is most commonly achieved by encasing each individual tendon element within a plastic sheathing filled with a corrosion-inhibiting grease, usually lithium based. Anchorages at each end of the tendon transfer the tensioning force to the concrete, and are required to reliably perform this role for the life of the structure.
