Problem $02\mathrm{.}044-$ Deflections along a rigid beam

The rigid bar $AD$ is supported by two steel wires of $\frac{1}{16}-$in$.$ diameter $(E=29{10}^6)$ and a pin and bracket at $A.$ wires were initially taut when a $260-$lb load $P$ was applied at $D.$

Problem $02\mathrm{.}044.$a $-$ Deflections along a rigid beam

Determine the additional tension in each wire when the load $P$ is applied.

The additional tension in wire $BE$ is

lb$.$

The additional tension in wire CF is

Ib$.$
