Question:

In Fig. 9-76, consider the right-hand (northernmost) section of the Golden Gate Bridge, which has a length d1 = 343 m. Assume the CG of this span is halfway between the tower and anchor. Determine FT1 and FT2 (which act on the northernmost cable) in terms of mg, the weight of the northernmost span, and calculate the tower height h needed for equilibrium. Assume the roadway is supported only by the suspension cables, and neglect the mass of the cables and vertical wires.
