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. ● b Determine the tension in each wire caused by the load P shown. Determine the downward deflection of the load P. D b B b C no sidesway deformations
