In the figure below, a stainless steel wire is supporting a weight, W. The Yield Strength and Young’s Modulus for stainless steel (Grade 304) is 205 MPa and 190 GPa, respectively. What is the maximum weight, W, in kN that can be supported by the wire if the allowable deformation is 1.3 mm? What is the safety factor relative to the Yield Strength at this allowable deformation condition?
