Summary

Description
English: Calculated from exp(r0/Lc(1+x/2-r0/r-x/2*r^2/r0^2)). The area under the curve gives the ratio of the mass of the cable to the mass that can be supported by the cable at the earth's surface.WARNING: This graph has been removed from the english Space Elevator article for being uncited original research.
