The tension in each cable can be found by setting up force equilibrium equations in the horizontal and vertical directions. Since the traffic light is at rest, the sum of the vertical forces must equal zero. The tension in each cable will be mg/√2, where m is the mass of the traffic light and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
The tension in each cable will be equal to half of the weight of the traffic light, divided by the cosine of the angle it makes with the vertical. So, the tension in each cable will be T = (mg) / (2 * cos(45)) = mg / (√2).
The gravitational force acting on the sculpture is equal to its weight, pulling it downward. The two cables are counteracting this gravitational force by providing upward tension forces. If one cable applies a horizontal force to the right, it would create a torque causing the sculpture to rotate unless the other cable adjusts its tension to balance the torque and maintain equilibrium.
Two tension forces act on the chandelier: one in each of the two cables suspending the chandelier. These tension forces counteract the force of gravity acting on the chandelier, keeping it suspended in equilibrium.
That is called "tension".
Tension force in a rope or string holding an object suspended. Tension force in the cable of a cable car or elevator carrying passengers up or down. Tension force in the strings of a musical instrument like a guitar or violin. Tension force in a spring being stretched or compressed. Tension force in the cables supporting a bridge or a flagpole.
The tension in each cable will be equal to half of the weight of the traffic light, divided by the cosine of the angle it makes with the vertical. So, the tension in each cable will be T = (mg) / (2 * cos(45)) = mg / (√2).
In this scenario, the vertical cable must support the entire weight of the traffic light, which is 122 N. Since the upper cables can only handle a maximum tension of 100 N before breaking, the system is at risk. To prevent the upper cables from failing, the setup must be adjusted, either by redistributing the load or reinforcing the upper cables to better accommodate the weight of the traffic light.
To determine the tension in each cable supporting a 350 N sign, we need to know the configuration of the cables (e.g., angles, whether they are vertical or horizontal). If the sign is hanging straight down and supported by two cables at equal angles, the tension in each cable would be half of the weight of the sign, which is 175 N. If the cables are at different angles, additional calculations involving trigonometric functions would be required to find the exact tension in each cable.
because when there is traffic( live load) driving over the bridge it causes the bridge to compress and normall would break but with suspeision cables it takes the load off the road and distributes it through the cables which demonstrate tension

To install garage door cables, first, release tension on the existing cables. Then, remove the old cables and attach the new ones to the drum and bottom bracket. Finally, adjust the tension and test the door for proper operation.

Bike barrel adjusters are small components that can be turned to adjust the tension of the cables on a bicycle. By turning the barrel adjuster, you can fine-tune the tension of the cables, which helps to ensure smooth and precise shifting or braking. This adjustment is important for maintaining the proper functioning of the bike's gears and brakes.
