Thanks for the info, I am assuming the load is moving "slowly" down the cable and that the cable's length doesn't change. When you say I have to solve it for multiple assumed positions of load your saying there's no cable tension as a function of x kind of formula with constants for elevation...

Thanks for the help but I believe that is only good for a horizontal cable. Mine is inclined. and then I have to somehow define theta as a function of x. This isn't a textbook problem where I'm given that info. Does anyone know of a spreadsheet or calculator program that can numerically solve...

The cable by itself would form a catenary with no load on it as its not pulled tight to begin with. I'm assuming the cable's weight to be insignificant compared to the concentrated load that is moving along the cable. The cable forms simple straight lines when under tension. If you have the...

I'm looking for a formula, calculator or spreadsheet that can calculate the tension in a cable suspended between two points with a concentrated load. Should be simple but my cable is inclined and I need to find the tension in each leg of the cable as a function of the load's position. Example, a...
