Problem 3.
The rigid bar ABC is suspended from three wires located at a distance b from each other. The
three wires are made of the same material having a modulus of elasticity E. The load P is applied
at section D of the rigid bar located at a distance equal to 3/4 b from wire A. The cross sectional
area of the wire at B is equal to half of the cross-sectional area of the wires at A and C while all
three wires have the same modulus of elasticity E and the same length L. The system deforms
under the effect of the applied without any side-sway.
