Question

A supporting rope is loaded with a line load q(x) = q0 between points A and B. The rope shall 
be stretched such that the slope of the rope at point A is zero. If l = 10 m and h = 2.3 m, determine the (a) 
horizontal tensile force and (b) the maximum force in the rope.

q0 (kN/m) = 20.627

q0 KN m) = 20.627
A supporting rope is loaded with a line load qx) = q0 between points A and B. The rope shall be
stretched such that the slope of the rope at point A is zero, ifI= 10 m and h = 2.3 m, determine the (a)
horizontal tensile force and (b) the maximum force in the rope.
