I see it's supposed to be a trick question with the cable at 10m off the ground, but that neglects the actual physical characteristics of the cable itself. The most common cable? A steel cable, wouldn't work. I'm not sure what cable would, as all that I can think of have rigidity that would prevent that simple answer.
