I have a catenary wire with the following known factors:
- P: horizontal force in wire
- u: weight/mtr
- s: catenary length
- v: height difference between y1, y2
From statics follows: y= a cosh (x/a) with a= P/u
From this I can use the method displayed here to calculate h: horizontal difference between x1 and x2 using Newton’s method.
But I’m not interested in h, I want to determine the x1, x2 and y1, y2. But how do I get there?
