Solved: The rigid bar AD is supported by two steel wires
Chapter 2, Problem 2.46(choose chapter or problem)
The rigid bar AD is supported by two steel wires of \(\frac{1}{16} \text {-in. }\) diameter \(\left(E=29 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{psi}\right)\) and a pin and bracket at D. Knowing that the wires were initially taut, determine (a) the additional tension in each wire when a 120-lb load P is applied at B, (b) the corresponding deflection of point B.
