Test: Cables - Mechanical Engineering MCQ

The chains with the cables are used to support the structures. They ae there for the transfer of the loading from one point to another point. This means that the cables not only provides strength to the structure but also sufficiently transfers the loads that are being added to it.

The cable is a support system which is used to transfer the loadings in the different structures. The main motto is to make the structure stable. This is probably done with the help of making the distribution of the load which is being given to the structures equally by the help of the cables.

The cable is a support system which is used to transfer the loadings in the different structures. The main motto is to make the structure stable. In calculation the self-weight of the cable is neglected and the load is calculated. The forces are acting in the vertically downward direction.

The cable is a support system which is used to transfer the loadings in the different structures. The main motto is to make the structure stable. But in the calculations of the loadings when the cables are used in the transmission lines and guys for antennas the self-weight of the cable is not neglected and the load is calculated.

The assumptions are done so as to make the calculations easy. Though the assumptions make the small errors to not count over the big dat. But still if the assumptions are made then the calculations are easy. Thus the assumption taken as the cable is perfectly flexible.

The assumptions are done so as to make the calculations easy. Though the assumptions make the small errors to not count over the big dat. But still if the assumptions are made then the calculations are easy. Thus the assumption taken as the cable is inextensible.

The various points in the cables are facing constant forces. The forces are tensile forces. This is because as the cables are subjected to loadings the loads tends to stretch the cables in the direction parallel to its round area region. Thus the points face tensile forces which are parallel to the cable length.

Due to the flexibility property the cable, it offers no resistance to bending. As the bending is seen in the beams and all the solid structures. Thus the bending moment produced in the cables are not affecting the cables much. Thus no affect by bending, i.e. no resistance to bending.

Due to the flexibility property the cable, it offers no resistance to bending. As the bending is seen in the beams and all the solid structures. Thus the bending moment produced in the cables are not affecting the cables much. So the tensile force which is being produced is acting in the tangential direction to the points of the cable along its lengths.

The assumption that the cables are inextensible the main fact that comes out is that the cable length is constant throughout. Thus in the calculations also the fact that the length is constant makes a huge time saving tool. Thus the length of the cables are to be assumed constant if the assumption is taken as they are inextensible.

The loading in the cables doesn’t affect the geometry of the cables. This is because of the assumptions which we have taken. The first one that the cables are perfectly elastic. And the second one that the cables are inextensible.

The cable takes the shape of straight line when subjected to the loadings. As the loadings are straight, acting vertically downwards, they stretch the cables and then make them come in the shape of the straight line. Thus the loadings make the cables come in the straight line.

The various points in the cables are facing constant forces. The forces are tensile forces. This is because as the cables are subjected to loadings the loads tends to stretch the cables in the direction parallel to its round area region. Thus the points face tensile forces which are parallel to the cable length.

Whatever be the calculation involved, the unknown variables will be ultimately come out from the equations. The proper use of the known quantities and the multiuse of various calculation techniques will ultimately give up the results. Thus whether it may be the case of the cables or the beams the equations if applied properly will result in the determination of the unknowns.

The various points in the cables are facing constant forces. The forces are tensile forces. This is because as the cables are subjected to loadings the loads tends to stretch the cables in the direction parallel to its round area region. Thus the points face tensile forces which are parallel to the cable length.
