Donald asks…How can I find the optimal length needed for a power cable to connect two poles using catenary concepts?So I found this site:
http://www.math.uiowa.edu/~stroyan/CTLC3rdEd/ProjectsOldCD/estroyan/cd/13/index.htm
Problem is I can't understand most of what is discussed. What I really just want to know is the equation and basic concept on how to determine the optimal length of power cable needed to connect two poles while knowing only the linear density of the cable.
It does not
