SITUATION I: A 50-m steel tape is of standard length under a pull of 5kg and a temperature of 22 degree celcius when supported throughout its entire length. The tape weighs 0.06 kg/m, has a cross section area of 0.06 cm'and a modulus of elasticity of 2x10°kg/cm?. The tape was used in the field to measure a distance that was determined to be 525.48. At the time the measurement was made, the constant pull applied was 10kg with the tape supported only at endpoints. During measurement, the temperature was observed to be at an average of 19 degree Celsius. Use alpha a= 12.36x10/degree celcius. 1.

A two-tier system to repair bridges is supported by two steel cables for each platform. Lengths of the cables are la = 50 in. and lp = 190 in. Assume that two 190 lb workers are going to be standing on the system to repair a bridge, one on each platform. The following design requirement must be met: the stretch of each cable must be less than 0.02 in. at the worst-case loading condition for each cable. 140 in. 250 lb 190 in. 400 lb Determine the minimum diameter required for each cable. (Express your answers using two decimal places.) Cable at A: in. Cable at B: in. Cable at C: in. Cable at D: in.
The two main cables on a bridge are each 9,800 feet long. Each cable is composed of 45,000 individual high strength steel wires, tightly bound together. The maximum allowable load on the cable is such that the tensile stress in each individual wire can be no greater than 20×103 psi. a. Given that the diameter of each steel wire is 0.25 in, calculate the maximum allowable tensile force each cable can bear. b. When a 12 in. long steel wire was tested in the laboratory under a tensile stress of 20×103 psi, the tensile strain in the wire was measured to be 0.00067. Calculate the elongation of the wire tested.
