A car skidded off an icy road and became stuck in deep snow at the road shoulder. Another car, of 1400 kg mass, attempted to jerk the stuck vehicle back onto the road using a 5 m steel tow cable of stiffness k = 5000 N/mm. The traction available to the rescue car prevented it from exerting any significant force on the cable. With the aid of a push from bystanders, the rescue car was able to back against the stuck car and then go forward and reach a speed of 4 km/h at the instant the cable became taut. If the cable is attached rigidly to the masses of the cars, estimate the maximum impact force that can be developed in the cable, and the resulting cable elongation. Assume that the steady state force, acting on the rope, is equal to the weight of the car.

Axial Load

When a bar of the uniform cross-section is acted by a load, such that the load acts along the longitudinal axis of the bar, such kinds of loadings are known as axial loadings. In general terms, a load is an external force acting on a component. An axial load acts perpendicular to the geometric cross-section of the component. Based on the direction of the application of the load, an axial load can be tensile or compressive. The analysis of bodies under the action of axial loads is generally studied under the branch of mechanics, known as statics.
