The left support of the cable shown is located 10 m below the right support. The lowest point on the cable is 13 m below the right support. If the maximum tension in the cable resulting from a uniformly distributed load w along the horizontal is 400 kN, determine: a. The angle between the cable and the horizontal at the right support; b. The magnitude of the distributed load w c. The length of the cable.
