AI Thread Summary
To find the tension in cable supports with a sag of 250mm and a self-weight of 313.9N, the length of the cable is 11.31m. The distance between the supports is not provided, which is crucial for accurate calculations. Understanding the catenary curve is essential for determining the tension in the cable. Additional resources, such as Wikipedia and other websites on catenary, can provide further insights. Accurate tension calculations depend on knowing the span between supports.

As shown in the picture there is no force applied over the cable.The self weight of cable is 313.9N(32KG) .And there is a sag of 250mm in the middle .I need to find the tension in the supports.

The length of the complete cable is 11.31m .We r not give the length between two supports.
If you require any further information i pleasez do tell.
