Cable Force

Computes the force at the cable support by combining the horizontal midspan force and the vertical reaction from a uniformly distributed load. F = √(H² + (wL/2)²)

Inputs

Horizontal tension force at the midspan of the cable

Uniformly distributed load along the cable in newtons per metre

Total horizontal span of the cable in metres
