Same Level supports
Fh =minimum tension in cable
Fv = Vertical component of tension in cable
Ft= the tension in cable
Ft²= Fh²+Fv²
Use the triangles
You will be given L.
In which Fv= wL/2
When an angle is given you must calculate using Trigonometry
d= sag (in meters)
Yo= distance from bottom to the Turning Point O.
Length of support =Yo + d
