With these conditions, we choose 2nd degree safety factor, so that the
tension force should not exceed half the breaking load of the conductor.
According to Rapson:

By solving the above formula, we obtain the value of T. Then, the arrow,
during the construction, is:
x1 = is the horizontal distance between the lowest support point and the
“O”.
x2 = is the horizontal distance between the highest support point and the
“O”.
D1 = is the imaginary arrow from the lowest support point.
D2 = is the imaginary arrow from the highest support point.
We observe that:

With the values of x1, x2, the arrows D1, D2 can be calculated, as well as
the height of any point on the transmission line from the ground.
Determine the height “h” of the line over the water, midway between the
two towers.
Consider “O” the imaginary lowest point of the transmission line and D1, D2
the arrows from the lower and the tallest tower respectively.
