Mechanical Engineering: Ch 10: Forces on Cables (7 of 33) Uniform Distributed Load: Find Length

Visit ilectureonline.com for more math and science lectures!
In this video I will calculate the length of a cable.

Thank you so much! I love your lectures! The one you did with the Bernoulli equation with wind uplift is one I still reference even after all this time!

[@miglekk]

Thank you! I'm from Brazil and haven't been able to find a single lecture about cables with distributed load in portuguese. Decided to check on english and found a great one!

Welcome to the channel!

[@saulgamarra]

Please en Flexible bus bar in substation with insulator?? references techniques? IEC or ANSI with considerar insulator en short span, with bunddle

[@JV-sm4sw]

is this the same for an asymmetrical parabolic cable?

[@kawooyageoffrey6856]

great

[@raulhuaman1432]

thank you

[@MichelvanBiezen]

You're welcome

[@gearstil]

Isn`t the equation of the cable a cosine hiperbolic and not a parabola? The catenary form?

[@MichelvanBiezen]

watch the videos later in the playlist

[@gearstil]

@@MichelvanBiezen thanks, but the question was: the cable describes a parabola or a catenary?

[@MichelvanBiezen]

A hanging cable that has weight and is without a load will have the shape of a catenary.

[@HienTran-hx4ih]

Wrong wrong very wrong. The shape behaves as a hyperbolic cosine, that is y=a.cosh(x/a)+c, where cosh(t)=(e^t+e^-t)/2.

[@chrismixlewis]

No, this chain has a weight distributed on it. A freely hanging chain does behave as a hyperbolic cosine, but not a chain with additional mass distributed over it.

????? You are very stupid hahahaha
