Figure 12-81 shows a 300 kg cylinder that is horizontal. Three steel wires support the cylinder from a ceiling. Wires 1 and 3 art attached at the ends of the cylinder, and wire 2 is attached at the center. The wires each have a cross-sectional area of 2.00 × 10−6 m2.Initially (before the cylinder was put in place) wires 1 and 3 were 2, 0000 m long and wire 2 was 6.00 mm longer than that. Now (with the cylinder in place) all three wires have been stretched. What is the tension in (a) wire 1 and (b) wire 2?

- Gold, which has a density of 19.32 g/cm3, is the most ductile metal and can be pressed into a thin leaf or drawn out into a long fiber. (a) If a sample of gold with a mass of 6.609 g, is pressed into a leaf of 5.004 μm thickness, what is the area of the leaf?

The pole carries two crossarms, and each crossarm carries three conductors. The top crossarm is i ft below the pole top, and the lower crossarm is 2 ft below the top crossarm. Use hard-drawn copper conductors of 250 kcmil with 12 strands and 4/0 with 7 strands for the top and lower conductors, respectively. Assume that 6.5 ft of the pole is below the ground and find the total pressure of wind on pole and on conductors.arrow_forward
