Hi,
I am looking for a formula that describes the deflection of an inclined rope that is fixed in both ends, the left end is at the origin and the right end is at (xB, yB). The known parameters are; the length between the ends is L, the length of the rope is l, the initial angle is β and there is a uniform force, Q, acting on the rope.
I have tried to use ∑Fx = 0, ∑Fy = 0 and ∑MA = 0 but i can't find a good combination that describes the deflection of the rope.
A and B corresponds to the left and right end respectively.
