A light cable is supported at two points 20m apart which are at the same level. The cable supports three concentrated loads of magnitudes 20 KN, 30 KN, and 24 KN at points 1,2, and 3 respectively. The points 1,2 and 3 are 5m,10m,15m respectively from the left support. The deflection at first point is found to be 0.8m. Determine the tension in the different segments and total length of cable.
