A suspension cable is supported at A and B, 120 m. horizontally apart with B higher than A by 48m. Concentrated loads of 100 kN, 200 kN and 100 kN were applied at a distance of 30 m, 60m, and 90 m. respectively from A. The cable sags a distance of 30 m. measured from the chord AB at the point where the 200 kN is applied. Compute the horizontal reaction at the supports.
