Q1. A tower crane is used to lift I beams to construct skyscraper. As shown in Figure Q1 (a), the cable X is made up of two cables. The engineer who designing the tower crane is currently in the dilemma to determine what type of alloy is suitable for cable X with the diameter of the cable is 10 mm. The maximum allowable elongation is 0.02% which is also known as yield strain when lifting 900 kg of I beam. Given that 2 alloys are the candidates (i) Alloy WXW, E = 292 GPa and yield strength, σYS = 610 MPa and (ii) Alloy UAA, E = 169 GPa and yield strength, σYS = 414 MPa. Discuss which alloy is the most suitable.

Need help with the following Question 1.

Q1. A tower crane is used to lift I beams to construct skyscraper. As shown in Figure Q1 (a), the cable X is made up of two cables. The engineer who
designing the tower crane is currently in the dilemma to determine what type of alloy is suitable for cable X with the diameter of the cable is 10 mm.

The maximum allowable elongation is 0.02% which is also known as yield strain when lifting 900 kg of I beam.

Given that 2 alloys are the candidates (i) Alloy WXW, E = 292 GPa and yield strength, σYS = 610 MPa and (ii) Alloy UAA, E = 169 GPa and yield strength, σYS = 414 MPa. Discuss which alloy is the most suitable.
