As part of a design team for a new construction crane, you are responsible for selecting aflexible wirefor lifting heavy loads.It is estimatedthat the load on the wire will be ≤10’500 N.Yield strength of an available wire material is 840MPa. (a)Determine aminimum acceptablewire diameter assuming a factor of safety of 1.5. (b)Imagine that the situation has changed, and the crane needs to be re-designed for lifting the estimated load of 20kN.Assuming that you are given full freedom,suggest atleast two possible solutions for the problem using ‘quantifiable’options asarguments.
