A heavy cable with a mass of 12 kg/m passes over the two fixed pipes 300 m apart on the same level. One end supports a 1600 kg cylinder. It is found experimentally that a downward force P of 60 kN is required to induce slipping of the cable over both pipes at a constant rate. Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between the cable and the pipes, the maximum tension T in the cable between the pipes, and the sag h in the cable.

Question
A heavy cable with a mass of 12 kg/m passes over the two fixed pipes 300 m apart on the
same level. One end supports a 1600 kg cylinder. It is found experimentally that a downward
force P of 60 kN is required to induce slipping of the cable over both pipes at a constant rate.
Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between the cable and the pipes, the maximum
tension T in the cable between the pipes, and the sag h in the cable.
