Abstract
From the point of view of Mechanical Statis, when a ship is mooring with anchor and cables in water, the cable makes catenaries. The equation of catnaries is given: as following [numerical formula] σg: Unit weight of cables gr/c. m. T_0: Horizontal force on cable Hence, the investigations were undertaken to find out the relation between horizontal force on cable to catenaries by the experimentary methods. From above mentioned relation (the results of experiment), this paper described about the relation between holding power of anchor and cables to the force worked on ship about the cable run out.
