Chapter 4 Problem 4-39

Question

The load of 2000 lb is to be supported by the two vertical steel wires for which \(\sigma_{Y}=70\ \mathrm{ksi} .\) Originally wire AB is 60 in. long and wire AC is 60.04 in. long. Determine the cross-sectional area of AB if the load is to be shared equally between both wires. Wire AC has a cross-sectional area of 0.02 in2. \(E_{\mathrm{st}}=29.0\left(10^{3}\right)\ \mathrm{ksi}\).

Solution

Step 1 of 7)

The first step in solving 4 problem number 39 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The load of 2000 lb is to be supported by the two vertical steel wires for which \(\sigma_{Y}=70\ \mathrm{ksi} .\) Originally wire AB is 60 in. long and wire AC is 60.04 in. long. Determine the cross-sectional area of AB if the load is to be shared equally between both wires. Wire AC has a cross-sectional area of 0.02 in2. \(E_{\mathrm{st}}=29.0\left(10^{3}\right)\ \mathrm{ksi}\).
From the textbook chapter Axial Load you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
