Hi, I am a bit confused about cables, because of multiple people telling me different things. The only times we've discussed cables/springs is when a force is applied parallel to the length of the cable.
So say you had a cable tied to 2 fixed ends ------------------ , (great diagram eh) and a force is applied upwards to the centre of the cable(it has some elasticity, as cables do). Is the tension in the cable = the force applied?
Thanks
