A uniform beam weighing 500 N is held in a honzontal position by three
vertical wires, one attached to each end of the beam, and one at the mid-length
The outer wires are brass of diameter 0 125 cm, and the central wire is of steel
of diameter 0.0625 cm. If the beam is rigid and the wires are of the same
iength, and unstressed before the beam is attached, estimate the stresses in the
wires. Young's modulus for brass is 85 GN/m' and for steel is 200 GN/m
