Two vertical steel wires each 0.05 in. diameter and 48in. long support a light rod over a span of 12 in. A concentrated load of 60 lbf is then applied vertically downwards at a point 4 in. from one of the wires. Determine the load, stress and extension on each wire and the angular displacement of the rod from the horizontal assuming it does not bend. Use E = 29,000 ksi.
