Tension at Supports given Catenary Parameter for UDL on Catenary Parabolic Cable Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Variables Used

Tension at Supports - (Measured in Newton) - Tension at Supports is the tension due to loading on supports.
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.
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

Maximum Sag: 1.44 Meter --> 1.44 Meter No Conversion Required
Catenary Parameter: 19.56 Meter --> 19.56 Meter No Conversion Required
Uniformly Distributed Load: 10 Kilonewton per Meter --> 10000 Newton per Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

T_s = (d+c)*q --> (1.44+19.56)*10000

Evaluating ... ...

T_s = 210000

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

210000 Newton -->210 Kilonewton (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

210 Kilonewton <-- Tension at Supports

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

What is Tension in Cable?

The pulling force that acts along a stretched flexible connector, such as a rope or cable, is called tension, T. When a rope supports the weight of an object that is at rest, the tension in the rope is equal to the weight of the object: T = mg.

What is Catenary?

Catenary is the curve that an idealized hanging chain or cable assumes under its own weight when supported only at its ends. The catenary curve has a U-like shape, superficially similar in appearance to a parabolic arch, but it is not a parabola.
