TENSION

"A cable can support only a tension or 'pulling' force, and this force always acts in the direction of the cable."

- R.C. Hibbeler

Assumptions

Static Analysis: The system is at rest with no changing forces or vibrations.

No Self-Weight: The cable's own weight is very small and can be ignored compared to the main load.

Inextensible Cable: The cable does not stretch or deform under the applied load.

Pinned Anchors: The cable ends are attached to fixed, pinned supports allowing rotation but no translation.
