Question: Wires B and C are attached to a support at the left-hand end and to a pin-supported rigid bar at the right-hand end (see figure).
Wires B and C are attached to a support at the left-hand end and to a pin-supported rigid bar at the right-hand end (see figure). Each wire has cross-sectional area A = 0.03 in.2 and modulus of elasticity E = 30 × 106 psi. When the bar is in a vertical position, the length of each wire is L = 80 in. However, before being attached to the bar, the length of wire B was 79.98 in. and of wire C was 79.95 in.
Find the tensile forces TB and TC in the wires under the action of a force P = 700 lb acting at the upper end of the bar.
