No alias here... i am related to a J.smith and i know of another J.smith too...
i'm much less confused than i was when i stated this post, you guys have been super! thank you!
it may well be?
100Kg "(tension preapplied to cable)" x ((sin(angle LH))+(sin(angle RH))) - finds the load required to deflect the cable by X (X=150mm).
100Kgs x (sin(2.47°)+sin(2.47°)= 8.61Kgs
Load required to deflect cable by 150mm = 8.61Kgs
However this calculation does not tell me the...
The sag (i think) can be ignored? (unless this needs to be considered? in which case the below statement applies)
the actual sag (from testing) is 2mm.
Hi Guys,
I'm a little stuck on some calculations and hopefully some clarity can be found.
I'm looking to calculate the additional tension increase of a prestressed wire rope under deflection.
The wire rope is 6.5m in length and prestressed to 100Kgs a load of 8.5kgs is applied to the center...
