Consider a cable fixed at two supports subjected to uniform loading. Determine the maximum tension in the cable. For analysis, consider the origin at the cable's center due to its symmetry. Recall the cable's shape equation for distributed load and substitute the known constant loading value. Next, integrate the equation, and by applying the boundary conditions at the origin, the constant C2 is determined. By taking the first derivative of the cable's shape equation, the slope can be determined. Applying the boundary conditions for the slope at the origin, C1 is obtained. By substituting the integration constants and position coordinates of the support and rearranging the equation, the horizontal tensile force is obtained. Recall the slope equation, and substitute the x-coordinate value at the support where the angle is maximum. Cabel's tension changes with the angle, which is the maximum near support. Applying the trigonometric relation and rearranging the terms, the maximum tension equation is obtained. Finally, by substituting the horizontal tension equation and known values, the maximum tension in the cable is obtained.
