Span of Cable given Natural Frequency of Each Cable Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Cable Span = (Fundamental Vibration Mode/(pi*Natural Frequency))*sqrt(Cable Tension*([g]/Uniformly Distributed Load))
L_span = (n/(pi*ω_n))*sqrt(T*([g]/q))
This formula uses 2 Constants, 1 Functions, 5 Variables

Constants Used

[g] - Gravitational acceleration on Earth Value Taken As 9.80665
pi - Archimedes' constant Value Taken As 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288

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.
Fundamental Vibration Mode - Fundamental Vibration Mode is integral value denoting the mode of vibration.
Natural Frequency - (Measured in Hertz) - Natural Frequency is the frequency at which a system tends to oscillate in the absence of any driving or damping force.
Cable Tension - (Measured in Newton) - Cable Tension is the tension on the cable or the structure at a particular point. (if any random points are considered).
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

Fundamental Vibration Mode: 9.9 --> No Conversion Required
Natural Frequency: 5.1 Hertz --> 5.1 Hertz No Conversion Required
Cable Tension: 600 Kilonewton --> 600000 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 = (n/(pi*ω_n))*sqrt(T*([g]/q)) --> (9.9/(pi*5.1))*sqrt(600000*([g]/10000))

Evaluating ... ...
