A main cable in a large bridge is designed for a tensile forceof 2,600,000 lb. The cable consists of 1470 parallel wires, each0.16 in. in diameter. The wires are cold-drawn steel w/ anaverage ultimate strength of 230,000 psi. What factor of safety wasused in the design of the cable? Answer is 2.62 (How do I get to that point?)

Cables

Cables are collections of wires, alternatively referred to as a cord, connector, or plug. They are one or more wires covered in a plastic covering that allows for the transmission of power or data between devices. The earliest use of recognizable electrical cable was the early commercialized telegraph lines. These were iron-made and tedious to produce and install cabling.
