While able and capable have similar meanings, their differences lie in their implied intention." Not able" might mean physically you cannot. "Not capable" however might mean that you emotionally refuse. Since english is extremely expressive there are many words like this that share meanings but are used in different ways to express a feeling. Typically the word capable implies more emotion than able, but no one will be confused if you interchange them.
