Question 2 A rigid bar of weight W=1,200 N hangs from three equally spaced vertical wires as shown in Figure Q2. The wires also support a concentrated load P acting on the bar. The diameter of the steel wires is 6 mm while the diameter of the aluminium wire is 15 mm. Assume the modulus of elasticity of steel and aluminium are E, 200 x 103 N/mm² and Ea = 80 x 103 N/mm² respectively. (a) Set up the equilibrium and compatibility equations for the system shown. [7 marks] (b) What load Pallow can be supported at mid-span of the bar if the allowable stress in the steel wire is 210 N/mm² and that in the aluminium wires is 70 N/mm². You are expected to show all calculations or checks for both aluminium and steel wires. [15 marks] (c) What will be the change in length of each wire when the load Pallow is acting? [3 marks] A 950 mm S A S = Steel 250 mm 250 mm A Aluminium → W Figure Q2
