How should I calculate “Tensile Load” for trailing rubber cables?

When a rubber cable is used in a “trailing” or “hanging” application, the weight of the cable puts stress on the copper conductors. In the international market, cables with an integrated Aramid (Kevlar) strain relief or a central strength member are specified if the tensile load exceeds the safe limit for copper (15 N/mm²).
