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.

Question

ive asked this twice now i cant understand everything. can you pls answer it clearly. and please make a diagram about it

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.
