ANSWER:
Problem 2.44
The rigid bar AD is supported by two steel wires of 1/16-in. diameter (E = 29 x 10 psi) and a pin and bracket at A. Knowing that the wires were initially taut, determine (a) the additional tension in each wire when a 220-lb load P is applied at D, (b) the corresponding deflection of point D.
Step by Step Solution
Step 1 of 5
We will use the rotation diagram(figure 1) and moments about the hinged joint F to calculate the deflection of point A.
