Answer:
The main cables of the Golden Gate Bridge are made of numerous smaller cables because by combining several thousand in number of smaller cables, each having a diameter which is approximately the diameter of a pencil, into the required cable diameter dimensions, the flexibility, strength, resistance to cracking, rotation resistance, crushing resistance and fatigue resistance of the main cables are increased, and failure of a few strands in a multi-stranded cable is more likely to be detected before catastrophic failure takes place than in a single cable
The properties of strength and flexibility that the cable provides are required so that the bridge can better cushion the seismic turbulence of the water and strong wind energy at the bay of San Francisco, the location of the bridge
