Problem 15. A copper alloy wire of 1.5 mm diameter and 30 m long is hanging
freely from a tower. When will be its elongation due to self weight? Take specific
of the copper and its modulus of elasticity as 89.2 kN/m³and 90 Gpa
respectively.
Given data:
30x10
89.2 kN/m°= 89.2×10° kN/mm = 89.2×10°N/mm³
