The Akashi Kaikyo bridge in Japan has a central span of 1991 meters, a sag-to-span ratio of 1 to 10, and a total static loading of 160 kN per lineal meter of horizontal measurement. The weight of both of the main cables is included in this figure and is assumed to be uniformly distributed along the horizontal. Calculate the midspan tension T0 in each of the main cables. If the angle made by the cable with the horizontal at the top of each tower is the same on each side of each tower, determine the total compressive force C exerted by each cable on the top of each tower.
