A steel cable 2.00 m in length and with cross-sectional radius 0.350 mm is used to suspend from the ceiling a 10.0-kg model aircraft that is flying in a horizontal circle with an angular speed of 6.00 rad/s. What is the strain produced in the cable?
A brass wire and a steel wire, both of the same length, are extended by 1.0 mm under the same force. Is the cross-sectional radius of the brass wire more, less, or equal to the cross-sectional radius of the steel wire? Explain. Youngs moduli for brass and steel are 1.0 1010 N/m2 and 2.0 1011 N/m2, respectively.
1 b F2 1 1 FR F1 b. The figure above shows a crane tower on site at the HWY 1 expansion and Stoney Trail extension in NW Calgary. You are a design engineer working for the company supplying cranes for the contractors and you have been asked to evaluate the tower design. The crane tower supporting the pulley is designed so that the resultant force from the cable tension running over the pulley is oriented along the tower axis. Note: The tension in the cable is the same on both sides so ||Fill = ||F2l|| = T.

During a walk on a rope, a tightrope walker creates a tension of 3.94 × 103 N in a wire that is stretched between two supporting poles that are 15.0 m apart. The wire has a diameter of 0.50 cm when it is not stretched. When the walker is on the wire in the middle between the poles the wire makes an angle of 5.0° below the horizontal. How much does this tension stretch the steel wire when the walker is this position?
