Q2
A rigid triangular frame is pivoted at C and held by two identical
horizontal wires at points A and B (see figure). Each wire has axial rigidity EA 120 kips
and coefficient of thermal expansion a 12.5 X 10-F.
(a) If a verticai load P 500 lb acts at point D, what are the tensile forces T and
Tp in the wires at A and B, respectively?
(b) If, while the load P is acting, both wires have their temperatures raised by
180 F, what are the forces T and Tp?
