Chapter 4 Problem 4-12

Question

The load is supported by the four 304 stainless steel wires that are connected to the rigid members AB and DC. Determine the angle of tilt of each member after the 500-lb load is applied. The members were originally horizontal, and each wire has a cross-sectional area of \(0.025 \mathrm{~in}^{2}\).

Solution

Step 1 of 8

Formulas for calculating displacement of one side of a bar with relation to other, of a bar that has length  are :

Or in the case that segments have are not infinite we use the formula:

Another important note is that, following the book's examples, we will write tensile forces and elongation of distances as positive and compressive forces and contracted distances as negative.
