To continue your development within the company your manager has requested you move to the structures section of the company. The team you are going to work with specialise in tensile structures such as sports facilities, warehouses and exhibition centres.

Suppose that the loading on a cable is defined as shown in $($a$)$ and that the vertical distance from the cable to the cable chord is known at one point. Neglecting the weight of the cable itself, the bending moment at point C on an imaginary beam $($b$)$ may be found as follows.

Determine the vertical distance from the cable to the cable chord

For a given scenario design a simple tensile structure. Compare other possible tensile solutions for the project and using calculations justify your solution.
