Abstract
This investigation treats the static response of a single elastic cable which is suspended between two points that are not necessarily at the same level. The cable is loaded by its self-weight and any number of concentrated vertical loads which may be arbitrarily placed along its length. The analysis presented uses a Lagrangian approach. For the strained cable profile, the tension and displacements are given as functions of a single Lagrangian co-ordinate. A specific application of the general analysis is made and compared with a simple experiment.
