The vessel is attached to the anchor by the rode, which is made of chain, cable, rope, or a combination of these.

The elements of anchoring gear include the anchor, the cable ( also called a rode ), the method of attaching the two together, the method of attaching the cable to the ship, charts, and a method of learning the depth of the water.

An anchor rode ( or anchor line ) usually consists of chain or cable or both.

Since the elevator would attain orbital velocity as it rode up the cable, an object released at the tower's top would also have the orbital velocity necessary to remain in geostationary orbit.

A swing mooring consists of a single anchor at the bottom of a waterway with a rode ( a rope, cable, or chain ) running to a float on the surface.

* Anchor rode: The anchor line, rope or cable connecting the anchor chain to the vessel.

The depth of water is necessary for determining scope, which is the ratio of length of cable to the depth measured from the highest point ( usually the anchor roller or bow chock ) to the seabed.

For example, if the water is 25 ft ( 8 m ) deep, and the anchor roller is 3 ft ( 1 m ) above the water, the scope is the ratio between the amount of cable let out and 28 ft ( 9 m ).

Then, taking in on the first cable as the boat is motored into the wind and letting slack while drifting back, a second anchor is set approximately a half-scope away from the first on a line perpendicular to the wind.

After this second anchor is set, the scope on the first is taken up until the vessel is lying between the two anchors and the load is taken equally on each cable.

One method of accomplishing this moor is to set a bow anchor normally, then drop back to the limit of the bow cable ( or to double the desired scope, e. g. 8: 1 if the eventual scope should be 4: 1, 10: 1 if the eventual scope should be 5: 1, etc.

One of the primary characteristics of this technique is the use of a swivel as follows: the first anchor is set normally, and the vessel drops back to the limit of anchor cable.

A second anchor is attached to the end of the anchor cable, and is dropped and set.

A swivel is attached to the middle of the anchor cable, and the vessel connected to that.

As the vessel gathers sternway the strain on the cable pivots the vessel around what is now the weather quarter turning the vessel onto the other tack.

However, in a cable-stayed bridge, less cable is required and the towers holding the cables are proportionately shorter.

Transmission is primary by fiberoptic or coax cable network ( DVB-C ) or copper telephone line ( xDSL ).

Comcast SportsNet is the successor to Home Team Sports ( HTS ), the Orioles ' original cable partner.

BBC Red Button is broadcast on all digital television platforms in the UK, including digital cable ( DVB-C ), IPTV ( TalkTalk TV – channel 503, no red button or teletext ), digital satellite ( DVB-S ) ( Sky & Freesat ) and digital terrestrial television ( DVB-T ) ( Freeview ).

the chain ( or cord, cable, rope, string, etc.

The drive element of a pulley system can be a rope, cable, belt, or chain that runs over the pulley inside the groove.

A rope and pulley system, that is a block and tackle, is characterized by the use of a single continuous rope to transmit a tension force around one or more pulleys to lift or move a load — the rope may be a light line or a strong cable.

The term wire is also used more loosely to refer to a bundle of such strands, as in ' multistranded wire ', which is more correctly termed a wire rope in mechanics, or a cable in electricity.

A cable is most often two or more wires running side by side and bonded, twisted or braided together to form a single assembly, but can also refer to a heavy strong rope.

* Wire rope ( wire cable )

The SkyJump did not qualify as the world's highest bungee as it is not strictly speaking a bungee jump, but instead what is referred to as a ' Decelerator-Descent ' jump, using a steel cable and decelerator system, rather than an elastic rope.

* Rope splicing, joining two pieces of rope or cable by weaving the strands of each into the other

It is suitable for both stranded and braided ropes, lines and cables ( 3-strand rope, 4-strand cable and 8-strand multiplait as well as concentric and braided constructions ).

Wire wrapping was used for splices and for finishing cable ends in suspension bridge wires and other wire rope rigging, usually with a smaller diameter wire wrapped around a larger wire or bundle of wires.

* A length of rope, cable, or chain when put to use ( such as a clothesline, anchor line )

An aerial tramway, cable car, ropeway ( Japanese ) or aerial tram is a type of aerial lift which uses one or two stationary ropes for support while a third moving rope provides propulsion.

An aerial tramway consists of one or two fixed cables ( called track cables ), one loop of cable ( called a haulage rope ), and two passenger cabins.

After hauling rope brake the lower car rolled back and slammed on the wall of lower station injuring people, the upper car rolled down generating higher speed ( brakes didn't work ), on reaching lower cable car support mast it slammed ona broken hauling rope which tore a cabin apart and caused people to fall from 20 meters of height onto rooftops and ground, 20 were killed and many injured after jumping from accelerating cabin.

The elements of the seal are contained within the pattern formed by the outer frame of a hawser rope or cable, and the inner frame of an anchor chain, of a type employed in ships of the Colonial era.

* A cable railway uses a cable or rope to haul trains.

From the top, eight arms supported the vertical cable tracks of wire rope which lifted the baskets.

A large jetty in the harbour received ships from Jamaica and Australia, and their cargoes of bauxite and aluminium ores were transported on a cable belt rope driven conveyor belt that runs underneath the town to the plant.

In physics and geometry, the catenary is the curve that an idealized hanging chain or cable assumes under its own weight when supported only at its ends.

Assuming that the strength of the cable is proportional to its density per unit length, the weight, w, per unit length of the chain can be written T / c, where c is constant, and the analysis for nonuniform chains can be applied.

The fortifications included a river battery of six 32-pound cannons, a cable chain supported by a boom across the Hudson River ( see Hudson River Chain ), and landward redoubts connected by ramparts, all situated on a cliff promontory rising 100 feet ( 30 m ) above the river.

WGN in Chicago and WABD in New York were able to share programs through a live coaxial cable feed when WDTV in Pittsburgh signed on, because the station completed the East Coast-to-Midwest chain, allowing stations in both regions to air the same program at the same time, which is still the standard for U. S. television.

On chain timpani, the tension rods are connected by a roller chain much like the one found on a bicycle, though some manufacturers have used other materials, including steel cable.

Though far less common than pedal timpani, chain and cable drums still have practical uses.

Professional players may also use exceptionally large or small chain and cable drums for special low or high notes.

* Mooring buoys – used to keep one end of a mooring cable or chain on the water's surface so that ships or boats can tie on to it

* Catenary ( or " chain "), the shape of a hanging flexible cable when supported at its ends and acted upon by a uniform gravitational force

When a rider operates the lever while pedalling, the change in cable tension moves the chain-guide from side to side, " derailing " the chain onto different sprockets.

By rotating a wheel / axle ( e. g. drum, gear, pulley or shaft ) a linear member ( e. g. cable, rack, chain or belt ) moves.

The discs are mounted on one side of the lock, which may in turn be attached to the end of a chain or cable.

The truck will have a chain or cable system for upending the container.

In 1999, he became president and CEO of Rogers subsidiary Rogers Cable, Canada's largest cable television company and a leading video rental chain and cable Internet provider.

Things that should remain consistent are a 75ohm output impedance, 75ohm cables and a 75ohm terminating resistor at the end of a chain or cable.
