The horizontal longitudinal component of
tension in a cable is equal to the V function
times the per-foot cable loading. In problems without wind pressure, F= VW.
This formula shows that the V function
used in the catenary function is proportional
to the tension at the cable vertex.

X/V
FunctionFucin
In a given span V', Y', S, and Z bear definite interrelationships expressed by the formulas, Y = V cosh (X/ V),
Z = V sinh (X/ V), and S - Y - V. When these formulas are divided by X, unit values, (Y/X) = (V/X) cosh
(XIV), (Z/X)- (VIX) sinh (X/V), and (S/X) = (Y/X) - (V/X) result which apply to any length span.
Related unit values are tabulated in Table I. If V, Y, Z, or S is known for any span the other values can be
quickly determined by the use of this table.

One of the best of these methods is published in Martin's tables. Martin has
also developed another method of calculating hillside spans which has an extremely high degree of mathematical
accuracy.

same side of the vertex, and originate at the |
vertex, both represent positive values.
CASE I
Case I-Since Z. and ZL are on opposite
sides of the vertex, and L is equal arithmetically to ZU+ZL, ZL represents a negative value (algebraic).
Sample problems, case I and case II, are
shown in Figures 6 and 7 which explain the Tension in cable at lower support:
procedure used in solving hillside problems. TL = YLR
Tension values at supports in case-I probReferences
lems are found as follows:
