A high-strength steel bar used in a large crane has a diameter d = 2.00 in. (sec figure). The steel has a modulus of elasticity E = 29 × 10 psi and Poisson’s ratio is v = 0.29. Because of clearance requirements, the diameter of the bar is limited to 2.001 in. when it is compressed by axial forces. What is the largest compressive load Pmaxthat is permitted?
Rigid bar ACB is supported by an elastic circular strut DC having an outer diameter of 15 in. and inner diameter of 14.4 in. The strut is made of steel with a modulus elasticity of E = 29,000 ksi. Point load P = 5 kips is applied at B. Calculate the change in length of the circular strut DC. What is the vertical displacement of the rigid bar at point B?

Wire 2 is supported at (-70 ft. 55 ft, 80 Ft). Wire 3 is supported at (-10 ft. -85 Ft, 75 ft). Assume that all three wires have a diameter of 30 mils. Find the tensile stresses in all three wires
