Question: The cable is subjected to the parabolic loading w = w0 (1 (2x/a)2). Determine the equation y = f(x) which defines the cable shape AB

The cable is subjected to the parabolic loading w = w0 (1− (2x/a)2). Determine the equation y = f(x) which defines the cable shape AB and the maximum tension in the cable.

Units Used:

kip = 103 lb

w = wo [1- (2x/a)2]

a = 100 ft w0 = 150lb/ft

b = 20 ft
