In physics and geometry, a catenary (US: / ˈkætənɛri / KAT-ən-err-ee, UK: / kəˈtiːnəri / kə-TEE-nər-ee) is the curve that an idealized hanging chain or cable assumes under its own weight …

catenary, in mathematics, a curve that describes the shape of a flexible hanging chain or cable—the name derives from the Latin catenaria (“chain”). Any freely hanging cable or string …

A catenary curve describes the shape the displacement cable takes when subjected to a uniform force such as gravity. This curve is the shape of a perfectly flexible chain suspended by its …

The catenary is a plane curve, whose shape corresponds to a hanging homogeneous flexible chain supported at its ends and sagging under the force of gravity. The catenary is similar to …

If a flexible chain or rope is loosely hung between two fixed points, it hangs in a curve that looks a little like a parabola, but in fact is not quite a parabola; it is a curve called a catenary, which is …

2024年8月7日 · Enter the horizontal force, distance between supports, and weight per unit length into the calculator to determine the sag of a catenary curve.

What is the shape of a chain of small links hanging under gravity from two fixed points (one not directly below the other)? The word catenary (Latin for chain) was coined as a description for …

The intrinsic equation of the catenary is derived from considerations of a chain hanging from two fixed points.

2009年6月25日 · Scope and catenary are accordingly the only two methods by which a skipper can assist the anchor by providing it with a pull which is as close as possible to horizontal. The …

2016年12月5日 · When you suspend a chain from two hooks and let it hang naturally under its own weight, the curve it describes is called a catenary. Any hanging chain will naturally find …
