Wires B and C are attached to a support at the left-hand end and to a pin-supported rigid bar at the right-hand end (see figure). Each wire has cross-sectional area A =0.03 in2 and modulus of elasticity E = 30 X 106 psi. When the bar is in a vertical position, the length of each wire is L = 80 in. However, before being attached to the bar, the length of wire B was 79.98 in. and wire C was 79.95 in.

A framework ABC consists of two rigid bars AB and BC. Each having a length b (see the first part of the figure part a). The bars have pin connections at A, B, and C and are joined by a spring of stiffness k. The spring is attached at the midpoints of the bars. The framework has a pin support at A and a roller support al C, and the bars are at an angle a to the horizontal. When a vertical load P is applied at joint B (see the second part of the figure part a.) the roller support C moves to the right, the spring is stretched, and the angle of the bars decreases from a to the angle ??. (a) Determine the angle 0 and the increase S in the distance between points A and C. Also find reactions at A and C. (Use the following data: b = 200 mm. ft = 3.2 kN/m. a = 45°. and P = 50 N.)

A horizontal rigid bar ABC is pinned at end A and supported by two cables at points B and C. A vertical load P = 10 kN acts at end C of the bar. The two cables are made of steel with a modulus elasticity E = 200 GPa and have the same cross-sectional area.
