    Cable Sag

    The equation of a catenary is: y = a cosh(x/a). Now how do I determine "a"? Thanks, Chopin

    Cable Sag

    Hi I'm looking to calculate the sag of a flight control cable under it's own weight (zero tension). The cable is in steel, 5/32" diameter. Does anybody knows the formula to calculate the sag? Thanks, Chopin
