Flexible cables are used for support and load transmission in various applications. Consider a cable AB fixed at two points, experiencing multiple vertical concentrated loads. Determine the shape of the cable and the tension in each portion of the cable, knowing the horizontal distances between the loads and support. For analysis, the cable is assumed to be flexible, inextensible, and have negligible weight. The cable consists of several straight-line segments, each subjected to constant tensile force. Draw a free-body diagram of the cable to determine the reaction forces at supports. Here, the number of unknown reaction components exceeds the equilibrium equations. Consider point D on the cable at a known distance and draw a free-body diagram of segment AD. By using the moment equilibrium equation at point D, an additional equation is obtained. By recalling the equilibrium equations and using the reaction forces, the vertical distance between support A to each concentrated load is obtained. Similarly, the tension in each segment can be obtained, which is maximum when the segment has the largest inclination angle.
