Example 5.2. The flexible, inextensible, and gentile cable is suspended between Ewo absolutely rigid supports of same elevation. The total length of the cable is L and span equals I. The cable is subjected to uniformly distributed dead load q within the horizontal line; corresponding thrust and sag are Hq and fg. Calculate a change of the thrust and sag of the cable, if the entire cable upon the load q is loaded by additional concentrated live load P at the axis of symmetry of the cable (Fig. 5.7).
