Answer:

Let take the center of bridge as our origin (0,0). Parabola having vertex at origin is represented by y=a.x^2

At the right far end or +ive x-axis side we've x=200 and y=75 , so a=75/(200^2)=0.001875

Y

Parabola equation y=0.001875*x^2

Height of cable from 100m from centre. Y=? ,X=100m

Y=0.001875*(100^2)

Y=18.75 m

Height of ropes at 100m from the center of bridge.

Hope this helped! :D
