The cable of a suspension bridge runs over a frictionless pulley on the top of each of the towers at A and B and is fixed to anchor blocks at D and E. If the cable carries a uniform horizontally distributed load of 120 kN/m, determine the diameter required if the permissible working stress on the gross area of the cable, including voids, is 600 N/mm². Also calculate the bending moment and direct load at the base of a tower and the required weight of the anchor blocks.
