Q. A cable PQ of length 25 m is supported at two ends at the same level as shown in the figure. The horizontal distance between the supports is 20 m. A point load of 150 kN is applied at point R which divides it into two equal parts.
Neglecting the self-weight of the cable, the tension (in kN, in integer value) in the cable due to the applied load will be
