UDL given Tension at Supports for UDL on Parabolic Cable Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Uniformly Distributed Load = (sqrt((Tension at Supports^2)-(Tension at Midspan^2))*2)/Cable Span
q = (sqrt((T_s^2)-(T_mid^2))*2)/L_span
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

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 Supports - (Measured in Newton) - Tension at Supports is the tension due to loading on supports.
Tension at Midspan - (Measured in Newton) - Tension at midspan is the total tension acting in cable at midpoint.
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 Supports: 210 Kilonewton --> 210000 Newton (Check conversion here)
Tension at Midspan: 196 Kilonewton --> 196000 Newton (Check conversion here)
Cable Span: 15 Meter --> 15 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

q = (sqrt((T_s^2)-(T_mid^2))*2)/L_span --> (sqrt((210000^2)-(196000^2))*2)/15

Evaluating ... ...

q = 10052.3076399844

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

10052.3076399844 Newton per Meter -->10.0523076399844 Kilonewton per Meter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

10.0523076399844 ≈ 10.05231 Kilonewton per Meter <-- Uniformly Distributed Load
