D. At an angle of 2 radians
Answer:C
The tensile force acting on the cables under distributed load is in which direction w.r.t the cable?
A. Perpendicular B. Parallel C. Tangential D. At an angle of 2 radians
Explanation: Due to the flexibility property the cable, it offers no resistance to bending. As the bending is seen in the beams and all the solid structures. Thus the bending moment produced in the cables are not affecting the cables much. So the tensile force which is being produced is acting in the tangential direction to the points of the cable along its lengths.[/expand]
