At a building site a 1-ton container hangs from a crane wire and is then placed on the floor so that the wire becomes unloaded. The container is pushed to the elevator shaft where it is to be lowered as shown in Sketch m. By mistake there is a 1-m slack in the wire from the crane when the container falls into the elevator shaft. Calculate the maximum force in the wire if it has a cross-sectional steel surface area of 500 mm and an effective modulus of elasticity of 70 GPa and is 25 m long from the crane to the container. (b) Solve (a) if there is theoretically no slack.

Transcribed Image Text:2. At a building site a l-ton container hangs from a crane wire and is then placed on the floor so that the
wire becomes unloaded. The container is pushed to the elevator shaft where it is to be lowered as shown
in Sketch m. By mistake there is a l-m slack in the wire from the crane when the container falls into the
elevator shaft. Calculate the maximum force in the wire if it has a cross-sectional steel surface area of
500 mm and an effective modulus of elasticity of 70 GPa and is 25 m long from the crane to the
container. (b) Solve (a) if there is theoretically no slack.
