The length of the 3/32-in.-diameter steel wire CD has been
Chapter 2, Problem 2.28(choose chapter or problem)
The length of the \(\frac{3}{32}-\operatorname{in}\)-diameter steel wire CD has been adjusted so that with no load applied, a gap of \(\frac{1}{16} \text { in. }\) exists between the end B of the rigid beam ACB and a contact point E. Knowing that \(E=29 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{psi}\), determine where a 50-lb block should be placed on the beam in order to cause contact between B and E.
