The cable in Figure P6.3 supports girder \(D E\) uniformly loaded with \(4 \mathrm{kips} / \mathrm{ft}\). The supporting hangers are closely spaced, generating a smooth curved cable. Determine the support reactions at \(A\) and \(C\). If the maximum tensile force in the cable cannot exceed 600 kips, determine the sag \(h_{B}\) at midspan.
