Solution 6.

74:

Given Data:

*The mass of the cable is: mo  1.5 kg/m

*The sag in the cable is: H  1.8 m

Note: Dear Student! As per our guidelines, we are only allowed to answer a
single question. Kindly repost the next questions again.

The tension at the location of the maximum sag in the cable can be calculated
as:

To  wo x 
H  cosh  1
wo  To 
To  14.715 N/m  9 m 
1.8 m =  cosh  1
14.715 N/m  To 
To  337 N

The mass M attached to the free end of the cable is calculated as:
wo x
Mg  To cosh
To
 14.715 N/m  9 m 
Mg  337 N  cosh  
 337 N 
363.36 N
M
9.81 m/s 2
M  37.04 kg
