To determine

To prove the deflection of uniform wire ABC at midpoint B is δ=lPAE3.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The unstretched length is 2l.

The vertical load is P.

Calculation:

Sketch the uniform wire ABC as shown in Figure 1.

EBK MECHANICS OF MATERIALS, Chapter 2, Problem 124RP , additional homework tip  1

Refer to Figure 1.

The value of sinθtanθδl.

Find the value of vertical load (PAB) using equilibrium Equation.

FY=0

2PABsinθP=0 (1)

Substitute for sinθ in Equation (1).

2PABsinθP=0PAB=P2sinθPAB=P2sin(δl)PAB=Pl2δ

Find the elongation at point AB using the relation:

δAB=PABlAE (2)

Substitute Pl2δ for δAB in Equation (2).

δAB=(Pl2δ)lAE=Pl22AEδ

Sketch the right angle triangle as shown in Figure 2.

EBK MECHANICS OF MATERIALS, Chapter 2, Problem 124RP , additional homework tip  2

Refer to Figure 2.

(l+δAB)2=l2+δ2δ2=l2+2lδAB+δAB2l2δ2=2lδAB(1+12δABl)

1+12δABl Very small value compared to 2lδAB.

δ2=2lδAB (3)

Substitute Pl22AEδ for δAB.

δ2=2l(Pl22AEδ)δ2=Pl3AEδδ3Pl3AEδ=lPAE3

Hence, the deflection of uniform wire ABC at midpoint B is δ=lPAE3_ is proved.
