Solution: The load is supported by the four 304 stainless
Chapter 4, Problem 4-12(choose chapter or problem)
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 \(0.025 \mathrm{~in}^{2}\).

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