Find the height of the cables at a point

Answer to Problem 13AYU
Theheight of the cables at a point
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Length of twin towers:
Calculation:
A suspension bridge with weight uniformly distributed along its length has twin towers that extend
The cables are parabolic in shape and are suspended from the tops of the towers. The cables touch the road surface at the center of the bridge.
Since there is no vertical shift and horizontal shift right
Now to find the value of
Now,
Then simply substitute
Conclusion:
Hence, the height is
