How Do Cables Work? (with Demo!): Structures 1-1

Cables do one thing...carry tension! Here we look at how the forces in a cable and its shape are directly related. So the more we look, the more we learn! We even have a demo (with some helpers who have a short song for you too) with basic string and small packets of rice...not complicated things but all the better for understanding the behavior of strings, ropes, and cables. Plus, a reminder of a time when people used to write magnificent songs about engineering projects!
