Suspension Cable Demonstration
Response within 1 business day · Global logistics · Tender-ready docs
For use with the Work Panel the kit allows several experiments with a suspension cable.
The versatility of the kit means that you can create symmetrical and non-symmetrical cables, with point loads or with evenly-spread loads.
Students or teachers fit the magnetic parts of the kit to the Work Panel to study or demonstrate the shapes and tensions in a suspension cable.
The kit compares a suspension cable with a catenary cable and analyses results using catenary and parabolic theory.
It includes a roller chain (the cable), held by magnetically mounted sprocket pulleys and a set of weight hangers and weights. Spring balances measure the tension in the cable.
Experiments:
Comparison of a symmetrical suspension cable and catenary
Unsymmetrical suspension cable
Analysis using catenary and parabola theory
A point load on a suspension cable
Cable weight and tension.
