The vertical distance is 15 m (B is in a lower position). We measure a point on the cable which lies by a horizontal distance of 5 meters to point A. It is found to be 4 meters lower than point A. The shape of the cable is almost straight.Use the small sag approximation (Lecture 5) and keep the accuracy to O (e) to estimate the horizontal load H on A and B.arrow_forwardQ1.

The first 10 m of pipeline from the upper tank is of 40 mm diameter and the next 20 m is of 60 mm diameter. At the change of section, a valve is fitted. Calculate the rate of flow when the valve is fully opened assuming that its resistance is negligible and that f for both pipes is 0.0054. In order to restrict the flow the valve is then partially closed. If k for the valve is now 5.6, find the percentage reduction in flow.
