- Repeat Problem 2.3-29 if vertical load P at D is replaced by a horizontal load P at D (see figure).arrow_forward-19 The mechanical assembly shown in the figure consists of an aluminum tube, a rigid end plate, and two steel cables. The slack is removed from the cables by rotating the turnbuckles until the assembly is snug but with no initial stresses. Afterward, the turnbuckles are tightened by 1.5 turns. Calculate the forces in the tube and the cables and determine the shortening of the tube. As= 0.85 in2 for each cable, AA= 4.5 in2, L = 20 in., Es= 29,000 ksi, EA= 10,600 ksi, and p = 1/16 inarrow_forwardA magnesium-alloy wire of diameter d = 4mm and length L rotates inside a flexible tube in order to open or close a switch from a remote location (see figure). A torque Tis applied manually (either clockwise or counterclockwise) at end 5, thus twisting the wire inside the tube. At the other end A, the rotation of the wire operates a handle that opens or closes the switch. A torque T0 = 0.2 N · m is required to operate the switch. The torsional stiffness of the tube, combined with friction between the tube and the wire, induces a distributed torque of constant intensity t = 0.04N m/m (torque per unit distance) acting along the entire length of the wire. (a) If the allowable shear stress in the wire is T allow = 30 MPa, what is the longest permissible length Lmaxof the wire?arrow_forward
