Repeat Problem 11.3-9. Use two C 150 × 12.2 steel shapes and assume that E = 205 GPa and L = 6 m.
Two steel wines support a moveable overhead camera weighing W = 28 lb (see figure part a) used For close-up to viewing of field action at sporting, events. At some instant, wire I is at an angle a = 22° to the horizontal and wire 2 is at angle fi = 40°. Wires I and 2 have diameters of 30and 35 mils, respectively. (Wire diameters are often expressed in mils; one mil equals 0.001 in.) (a) Determine the tensile stresses s and s2 in the two wires. (b) If the stresses in wires 1 and 2 must be the same, what is the required diameter of wire 1 ? (c) To stabilize the camera for windy outdoor conditions, a third wire is added (see figure part b). Assume the three wires meet at a common point coordinates (0, 0. 0) above the camera at the instant shown in figure part b. Wire I is attached to a support at coordinates (75 ft, 48 ft, 70 Ft). 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
A large precast concrete panel for a warehouse is raised using two sets of cables at two lift lines, as shown in the figure part a. Cable 1 has a length L1 = 22 Ft, cable 2 has a length L2= 10 ft, and the distance along the panel between lift points Band D is d = 14 ft (see figure part b). The total weight of the panel is W = 85 kips. Assuming the cable lift Forces F at each lift line are about equal, use the simplified model of one half of the panel in figure part b to perform your analysis for the lift position shown. Find the required cross-sectional area AC of the cable if its breaking stress is 91 ksi and a factor of safety of 4 with respect to failure is desired.
A rigid bar of weight W = 750 lb hangs from three equally spaced wires: two of steel and one of aluminum (see figure). The diameter of the wires is 1/8 in. Before they were loaded, all three wires had the same length. What temperature increase T in all three wires will result in the entire load being carried by the steel wires?
