Abstract Suspension bridges are made of a long roadway with cables that are anchored at both ends to pillars. Vehicles on the roadway exert a compression force on the pillars which in turn exert a tension in the cables. However, the tension is not the same at different points across the cable and it also varies as the length of the cable varies. Taking inspiration from the suspension bridge, this extended essay is an investigation to study the variation in tension in the left segment of a relatively inelastic and an elastic string tied between two supports with the: - * Point of Application of Force * Length of the string tied Keeping in mind that the intrinsic property of the string plays a big role in determining the extent of deformation or change undergone due to the force applied, the research involves comparing the trends in the above variables for two strings...
