Prob.3: [2.26] The length of 2 mm diameter steel wire CD has been adjusted so that with no load is applied, a gap of 1.5 mm exists between the end B of the rigid beam ACB and a contact point E. Knowing that E = 200 GPa, determine where a 20 kg block should be placed on the beam in order to cause contact between B and E. 0.25 m CO 20 kg В A E 1.5 mm -0.32 m 0.08 m

1. A steel plate 5 /16 in. thick is embedded in a horizontal concrete slab and is used to anchor a high- strength vertical cable as shown. The diameter of the hole in the plate is 3 /4 in., the ultỉmate strength of the steel used is 36 ksi, and the ultimate bonding stress between plate and concrete is 300 psi. Knowing that a factor of safety of 3.60 is desired when P=2.5 kips, determine (a) the required width a of the plate, (b) the minimum depth b to which a plate of that width should be embedded in the concrete slab. (Neglect the normal stresses between the concrete and the bottom edge of the plate.
