The water supply pipe is suspended from a cable using a series of closed and equally spaced hangers. The length of the pipe supported by the cable is 60 m. The total weight of the pipe filled with water is 6.5 kN/m. a. Determine the maximum sag at the lowest point of thecable which occurs at the mid length of the allowable tensile load in the cable is 3000 kN. b. If the sag of the cable at mid length is 3 m. If the allowable tensile load in the cable is 2000 kN, how much additional load can the cable carry? c. Determine the length of the cable when the sag of the cable at mid length is 3 m.

Transcribed Image Text:The water supply pipe is suspended from a cable using a series of closed and equally spaced hangers. The length of the pipe
supported by the cable is 60 m. The total weight of the pipe filled with water is 6.5 kN/m.
a. Determine the maximum sag at the lowest point of thecable which occurs at the mid length of the allowable
tensile load in the cable is 3000 kN.
b. If the sag of the cable at mid length is 3 m. If the allowable tensile load in the cable is 2000 kN, how
much additional load can the cable carry?
c. Determine the length of the cable when the sag of the cable at mid length is 3 m.
