Problem $04\mathrm{.}121-$ Determine the stresses and deflections of a beam supported by elastic cables

The steel beam ABCD shown in the figure is simply supported at A and supported at $B$ and $D$ by steel cables, each having an effective diameter of $0\mathrm{.}375$ in and length of $36$ in $.$ The second area moment of the beam is $I=1\mathrm{.}2i{n}^4.$ A force $P=3,500lbf$ is applied at point $C.$ Using procedure $2$ of Sec$\mathrm{.}4-10,$ determine the stresses in the cables and the deflections at $B,C,$ and $D.($Include a minus sign If necessary.$)$

The stress in the rod $({}_{BE})$ is

Psi.

The stress in the rod $({}_{DF})$ is

$$ PsI.

The value of $y_B$ is

$ox$ in$.($Round the final answer to four decimal places.$)$

The value of $y_C$ is

$**$ in$.($Round the final answer to four decimal places.$)$

The value of $y_D$ is

$ox$ in$.($Round the final answer to four decimal places.$)$
