Sag-Span Ratio

What is the minimum length L m i n L_{min} of a flexible cable A C AC of a uniform weight per unit length w w which can hang in equilibrium as shown below:

Neglect friction and the dimensions of the pulley B B . Assume the horizontal force in the rope at the lowermost position of sag be H H . Let the sag-span ratio be a a f l = a \frac{f}{l}=a and H w l = b \frac{H}{wl}=b and L m i n l = c \frac{L_{min}}{l}=c

Evaluate a + b + c a+b+c .


The answer is 2.742.
