Span Length given Horizontal Component of Cable Tension for UDL Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Cable Span = sqrt((8*Sag of Cable at Midway between Supports*Cable Tension for UDL)/Uniformly Distributed Load)
L_span = sqrt((8*f*T_{cable udl})/q)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 4 Variables

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

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.
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.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Sag of Cable at Midway between Supports: 5 Meter --> 5 Meter No Conversion Required
Cable Tension for UDL: 56.25 Kilonewton --> 56250 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

L_span = sqrt((8*f*T_{cable udl})/q) --> sqrt((8*5*56250)/10000)

Evaluating ... ...

L_span = 15

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

15 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

15 Meter <-- Cable Span
