Turn next to Tensions in a Cable, solve Problems 1 to 4, and study the information that the pdf provides about steel cables and utility poles.

Provide an assessment of the solution that incorporates your answers to Problem 3 and 4 of the pdf Computing the Tension in a Cable as well as the additional information that the pdf includes. Point to at least three different ways in which the solution to the structural problem might fail and rank these possibilities of failure in order of their likelihood.
