STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Uniformly Distributed Load = 8*Tension at Midspan*Maximum Sag/(Cable Span^2)
q = 8*T_mid*d/(L_span^2)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Uniformly Distributed Load - (Measured in Newton per Meter) - Uniformly distributed Load (UDL) is a load that is distributed or spread across the whole region of an element whose magnitude of the load remains uniform throughout the whole element.
Tension at Midspan - (Measured in Newton) - Tension at midspan is the total tension acting in cable at midpoint.
Maximum Sag - (Measured in Meter) - Maximum Sag is the maximum catenary or the greatest amount of sag that can be allowed in the cable system.
Cable Span - (Measured in Meter) - Cable Span is total length of cable in horizontal direction.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Tension at Midspan: 196 Kilonewton --> 196000 Newton (Check conversion here)
Maximum Sag: 1.44 Meter --> 1.44 Meter No Conversion Required
