Problem1: The cable ACB weighs 0.3 N/m. Knowing that the lowest point of the cable is located at a
distance a = 1.5 m below the support A, determine the following:
a. The horizontal distance between points B and C
b. The tension in points A, B and C.
Problem 2: (a) Determine the maximum allowable horizontal span for a uniform cable of mass per unit
length m’ if the tension in the cable is not to exceed a given value of T. (b) Using the result in
part a, determine the maximum span of steel wire for which m’ = 0.34 kg/m and Tw, = 32 KN.
