Question

Example 7.4: An overhead line at a river crossing is supported from two towers of heights 30 metres and 90 metres above water level with a span of 300 metres. The weight of the conductor is 1 kg/metre and the working tension is 2000 kg. Determine the clearance between the conductor and the water level mid-way between the towers.
