where 



Ln = the moment per unit length due to bending 



Lt ~ 't-h^ moment per unit length due to cixial loauxng 



T = the total tension due to external loads 



Cq = the local curvature of the cable 



y = the distance from the center of the cable to 



the centroid of the force T 

 E = the effective modulus of elasticity of the 



fairing materiai 

 I = the second moment of the cross- sectional area 

 of the fairing referenced to the center of 

 the cable 

 t = the local angle of inclination of the center- 

 line of the fairing relative to the plane 

 containing the cable. 



To determine the net moment acting on the fairing, there 

 must be added 



L„, a hydrodynamic moment, and 

 Lq, a weight moment. 



Although existing information relative to Lu is incon- 

 sistent, the effectiveness of the single- confound construc- 

 tion can be settled at least qualitatively.
