1. Consider a loaded mine cart weighing 3000 lb with 1500 lb of high-grade ore from an underground mine. Compute the equivalent stiffness and the equivalent static deflection in the wire rope without load and with load. Also, draw the free body diagram of the mechanical system. Let the values of modulus of elasticity and modulus of rigidity to be 30 x 10° psi and 11.6 x 10° psi respectively.

Slope and Deflection

The slope in a deflected beam is described as an angle in radians made by the tangent of the section with the original axis of the beam. The deflection at any point on the axis of the beam is defined as the lateral displacement of the point before and after loading.
