Cables Under Static Loads: Solving for Forces on a Cable under Concentrated Load
The video explains the concept of cables under static loads, where they can support forces in tension but not in compression. It also illustrates how cables can support concentrated loads and how to determine the forces involved in such...

Khan Academy: Tension: Tension in a Accelerating System and Pie in the Face
The second part to a complicated problem. We figure out the tension in the wire connecting two masses. Then we figure our how much we need to accelerate a pie for it to safely reach a man's face. [9:28]
