Question:
The center span of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge consists of two uniform roadways suspended from four cables. The design of the bridge allowed for the effect of extreme temperature changes which cause the sag of the center span to vary from hw = 386 ft in winter to hs = 394 ft in summer. Knowing that the span is L = 4260 ft, determine the change in length of the cables due to extreme temperature changes.
