Question 1

What is the shape of a cable under uniform loading?

  • Circular
  • Parabolic
  • Linear

💡 Hint: Think about how a sagging rope dips.

Question 2

True or False: The horizontal tension (H) in a cable can vary depending on the load.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Remember that this is true as long as we are not accounting for extra external forces.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A cable is 100 meters long and designed to carry a load of 1000 N uniformly. Calculate the sag if the horizontal force in the cable is 500 N.

💡 Hint: Plug in the values carefully into the formula.

Question 2

Describe how real-world factors like wind or temperature can affect the calculations of tension and sag in cable structures.

💡 Hint: Think about how these external conditions would influence the stability of the cable.
