Step-by-step explanation:

Suspension bridges, like the Golden Gate Bridge or the Brooklyn Bridge, use tension force as the primary source of force that cables use to hold their spans up. The supporting cables receive the tension forces of the bridge, and this same force passes to the anchorages and into the ground
