GUY LINE PROPERTIES PROGRAM v0.1

COMPANY:          PROJECT:            
ITEM NO:            
INPUT:
in.Cable diameter, for your reference only
lbs./ft.Cable weight per foot, not the horizontal weight per foot. If applicable, include ice load, etc.
sq.in.Metallic area of the cable, leave zero if the stretch of the cable is not required
ft.Horizontal span between the bottom support lug and the top support lug
ft.Vertical height between the two support lugs. This input value can be zero, ie for a cableway
ft.X, a horizontal distance from the bottom support lug to a point in question on the cable
lbs.Horizontal tension in the cable. If this value is not known, estimate it at ~10,000lbs for a first try in solving for a specific sag, tension at the deadman, etc.

Result:

OUTPUT:
lbs.Tension in the cable at the top support lug
lbs.Tension in the cable at the bottom support lug (deadman)
ft.Maximum sag, the vertical distance between the cord line and the cable
ft.Horizontal distance from the bottom support lug to maximum sag on the cable
ft.Vertical distance from the bottom support lug to maximum sag on the cable
ft.Cable length (stretched)
ft.Cable stretch. Subtract this length from above to get the unstretched length
ft.Y, a vertical distance from the bottom support lug to a point in question on the cable
Deg.Alpha, angle between the cable and the horizontal at the bottom support lug
Deg.Beta, angle between the cord and the horizontal
Deg.Theta, angle between the cable and the horizontal at the top support lug
