Repeat Prob. 5/162, but do not use the approximation of a parabolic cable. Compare your results with the printed answer for Prob. 5/162.
Problem. 5/162
A cable weighing 40 N per meter of length is suspended from point A and passes over the small pulley at B. Determine the mass m of the attached cylinder which will produce a sag of 10 m. With the small sag-to-span ratio, approximation as a parabolic cable may be used.
