This formula uses 4 Variables
Variables Used
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.
Tension at Midspan - (Measured in Newton) - Tension at midspan is the total tension acting in cable at midpoint.
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.
Cable Span - (Measured in Meter) - Cable Span is total length of cable in horizontal direction.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Tension at Midspan: 196 Kilonewton --> 196000 Newton (Check conversion ​here)
Maximum Sag: 1.44 Meter --> 1.44 Meter No Conversion Required
Cable Span: 15 Meter --> 15 Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
q = 8*Tmid*d/(Lspan^2) --> 8*196000*1.44/(15^2)
Evaluating ... ...
