Benchmark solution
=====================

Calculation method used for the reference solution
--------------------------------------------------------

The reference arrow relates to an inextensible cable of :math:`105m` over a span of :math:`100m`. It is obtained by solving a transcendent equation [:ref:`bib2 <bib2>`].


Benchmark results
----------------------

The reference arrow is :math:`13.93m`, equal for each range.


Uncertainty about the solution
----------------------------

Semi-analytical solution.
