A new dynamic model of the variable-length cable used in a vertically tethered underwater drill rig is presented in this paper, which also includes the dynamics of its fixed-length counterpart.First, the differential equation Boron of the variable-length cable is derived through the theorem of linear momentum, and its finite element formulation is
