The figure above shows a crane tower on site at the HWY 1 expansion and Stoney Trail
extension in NW Calgary. You are a design engineer working for the company supplying cranes
for the contractors and you have been asked to evaluate the tower design. The crane tower
supporting the pulley is designed so that the resultant force from the cable tension running over
the pulley is oriented along the tower axis. Note: The tension in the cable is the same on both
sides so ||Fill = ||F2l|| = T.
A cable is 10.0 m long and has a diameter of 2.00 mm. A force of 45.0 N is applied to the end of the cable and the cable stretches by 3.00 mm. What is the elastic modulus?
