The cable of a uniformly loaded suspension bridge hangs in the form of a parabola. The roadway which is horizontal and `100 m` long is supported by vertical wires attached to the cable, the longest wire being `30 m ` and the shortest being `6 m`. Find the length of which is at `18m` apart from the middle point of cable.

over the towers of a bridge a cable is hung in the form of a parabola, have their tops 30 meters above the road way are 200 meters apart. If the cable is 5 meters above the road way at the centre of the bridge, then the length of the vertical supporting cable 30 meters from the centre is

If the distribution of weight is uniform, then the rope of the suspended bridge takes the form of parabola.The height of the supporting towers is 20m, the distance between these towers is 150m and the height of the lowest point of the rope from the road is 3m. Find the equation of the parabolic shape of the rope considering the floor of the parabolic shape of the rope considering the floor of the bridge as X-axis and the axis of the parabola as Y-axis. Find the height of that tower which supports the rope and is at a distance of 30 m from the centre of the road.
