I seem to remember from my school days that Tension Force can only be linear.
Is this true?
In 1 (in the graphic) the tension will follow the line of the rope
In 2 there is an unbendable, unbreakable, steel cable formed into an arch.
a ] In 3 which direction will the Tension be?
b ] In 3 if there was a gauge on this arch would it still read 1000kn, the same as on the rope, or would the shape change this.
Thank you
