Somwhere there is a table that will show the strength of rated cables.
I used to work with an engineer and it surprised me how much of his work I could do simply by knowing where the book shelf was.

you secure the top and put weight on the bottom. get 1m of the cable and see how much tension you can put on before it snaps

Ft (pounds) = Area of cable (sq. in.) * Yield stress (psi)
