A beam of span 9 m is prestressed with a cable as shown in figure below. The beam carries two point loads on 50 kN each at 3 m and 6 m respectively from left end. If the cable is able to balance the external point loads completely and provides an effective prestressing force of 1000 kN, then the central dip h (in mm) of cable is (round off to nearest integer). 50 KN 50 KN 1000 KN 3m- 6 m 9 m 1000 KN
