W B H in Inches Cable Diam.: Case 1

This document contains a spreadsheet calculating cable length based on a formula from the UNOLS Handbook of Oceanographic Winch and Cable Technology. The formula tends to overestimate length, so the author back-calculated a constant factor of 0.2361 that provides more accurate results than the handbook's 0.2618 value. The spreadsheet applies this adjusted formula to different cable diameters to calculate cable lengths.
