A water supply pipe is hung from a cable with a series of closely and eventy spaced hangers. The length of the pipe supported by the cable is 80 m, and the total weight of the pipe when filled with water is 15 kN/m. A. Find the maximum sag (m) at the lowest point of the cable which occurs mid-length it the cable has a capacity of 5550 kN. B. The sag of the cable at mid-length is 5 m. Find the maximum tension force (kN) in the cable. C. The sag of the cable at mid-length is 4 m. If the capacity of the cable is 6000 kN, how much additional load (kN/m) can the cable carry.

A water supply pipe is hung from a cable with a series of closely and eventy spaced hangers. The length of the pipe supported by the cable is 80 m, and the total weight of the pipe when filled with water is 15 kN/m.

A. Find the maximum sag (m) at the lowest point of the cable which occurs mid-length it the cable has a capacity of 5550 kN.

B. The sag of the cable at mid-length is 5 m. Find the maximum tension force (kN) in the cable.

C. The sag of the cable at mid-length is 4 m. If the capacity of the cable is 6000 kN, how much additional load (kN/m) can the cable carry.
