A water supply pipeline crossing a wide river is to be supported by a flexible wire cable with an allowable tensile load of 20000 kg. The pipe weighs 50 kg per meter and has a total length of 60m. a. Determine the minimum sag of the cable b. Determine the tension the Lowest point of the cable c. If the sag is to be 2m, what is the tension at the support?
