🚡 Aerial Ropeway Span: Cable Sag, Support Tension and Cabin Position (2D side view)

Side view of a carrying cable between two towers with one cabin riding along it. Set span, cable weight, counterweight tension and cabin mass, and watch the sag under the cabin, the tension at each tower, the safety factor and the length of the cable. Four numerical checks compare the closed form with a catenary and a finite-difference cable.
