$(($Show Graphical Solution Please$))$

The following questions refer to the above suspension structure. Let's not use a safety factor on this one,

just to keep it a little streamlined. Omega$=1.$

$5.$ Use graphical method to solve for the shape of the cable. $($Hint : We are only concerned with

the cable at the main span, between the towers.$)$

$6.$ Assuming the cable meets the deck at the center of the bridge, what should be the height of

the tower above the deck? $($Hint : the Form Diagram from your graphical solution is a $"$to scale" elevation of the bridge.$)$

Hint : Halfway to the next door neighbor.

Hint : Remember, the load on the tower is the vertical load from the cable, not the whole force in the cable.

Hint: Use the full height of the tower.

Hint : Remember to check the tower for stress and buckling if appropriate.
