The length of the 3/32 in.diameter steel wire CD has been adjusted so that with no load applied, a gap of 1/16 in. exists between the end B of the rigid beam ACB and a contact point E. Knowing that E=29 X 10⁶ psi, determine where a 50-lb block should be placed on the beam in order to cause contact between B and E.
