Chain catenary vertical reaction help
Thank you all for aligning my cranium on this. I was given this problem during a job interview just out of school. I had like an hour to answer 9 other similar problems and I'm sure it's why I didn't get the position. Always meant to get back at it when I had the time. Carcajou- Carcajou

Chain catenary vertical reaction help
For dead load chain catenary with different y-axis end support positions, it's clear that as more chain is hanging from upper support A) both vertical attachment end reactions cannot be identical, and B) upper support vertical end reaction will be higher than lower support vertical end reaction...- Carcajou
