Question 1
What is the horizontal force H in a cable system?
- It changes with load
- It remains constant
- It is always zero
💡 Hint: Think about the forces involved when there are no horizontal loads.
Question 2
True or False: The shape of a cable under uniform load is always linear.
- True
- False
💡 Hint: Recall the equations and their implications on cable shape.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A cable supports a uniform load of 10 kN/m over a span of 100 meters. Calculate the maximum tension in the cable given a sag of 4 meters.
💡 Hint: First, find the horizontal force, then use it to calculate vertical and total tension.
Question 2
If the sag of the cable is doubled while the same load is applied, what happens to the horizontal force? Discuss its implications.
💡 Hint: Reflect on how changes in sag affect redesigning cable systems.
