Cables and decks are appreciably different. I am pretty sure the answer they are looking for here assumes a "deck" mentality, but the true correct answer requires calculus and the use of catenaries. I will assume the extra 6 feet for each cable is for this non-simplistic adjustment. Nonetheless, the simplistic Pythagorean answer will have to do for this group...
Catenaries --- isn't that where you have both cats and canaries, and you didn't keep the canaries in the cage?
@chris, how do you pour concrete in antarctica? it would be too cold to pour it because it owuld be dry by the time it got there from any country, it's too cold to make concrete in antarctica, and if you had a heating room outside to make concrete, it would melt the ice. :devil:
like ask him the question? if so, you wouldn't be doing the question, so i don't think it would be fair.
Miz, Google "Abbott & Costello" and if you can find the video clip with sound, this is one of the all-time best comedy routines. Chris
We build a one-room house around each site where the concrete will be poured. The room temperature will be warm enough so that the concrete will not freeze, but not hot enough to melt the ice. Chris
