Description
For use with the Work Panel, the kit allows several experiments with a suspension cable. Students or teachers fi t 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. The versatility of the kit means that you can create symmetrical and non-symmetrical cables, with point loads or with evenly-spread loads. We supplies each kit with a fully illustrated user guide containing theory, experiments and typical results.

Learning Outcomes
Analysis using catenary and parabola theory
Cable weight and tension
Comparison of a symmetrical suspension cable and catenary
Unsymmetrical suspension cable
A point load on a suspension cable
