The left support of the cable shown is located 10m below the right support. The lowest point on the cable is 13m below the right support. If the maximum tension in the cable resulting from a uniformly distributed load w along the horizontal is 400kN, determine: a. The angle between the cable and the horizontal at the right support; b. The magnitude of the distributed load w; c. The length of the cable
