catenary question
catenary question
(OP)
i'm not that familiar with catenary's (yes, i could resreach it on my own, but ...) ...
i've got a feeling that you shouldn't superimpose loadings on a catenary. the case in point has two uniform loadings applied to a catenary cable, and we're solving each independently and superimposing the results. i think this is conservative, producing higher tensions than if we applied the single resultant loading.
thoughts ?

RE: catenary question
So a cable with loading applied is no longer a catenary.
Therefore it would seem to follow that the equations for a catenary no longer apply.
