Question

A continuous cable (diameter 6 mm) with tension force T is attached to a
horizontal frame member at Band C to support a sign structure. The
cable passes over a small friction less pulley at D. The wire is made of a
copper alloy, and the stress-strain relationship for the wire is
σ(ε)=124.00ε/1+300ε 0≤ ε ≤ 0.03 (σ in MPa)

(a) Find the axial normal strain in the cable and its elongation due to the
load W=6.8 kN.
(b) If the forces are removed, what is the permanent set of the cable?
Hint: Start with constructing the stress-strain diagram and determine
the modulus of elasticity, E. and the 0.2% offset yield stress.
