- Strain Energy
, Example 1 A steel cable with nominal diameter 25 mm (see
Table 2-1) is used in a construction yard to lift a bridge section
weighing 38 kN, as shown in the figure. The cable has an
effective modulus of elasticity E =140 GPa.
(a) If the cable is 14 m long, how much will it stretch when the
load is picked up?
(b) If the cable is rated for a maximum load of 70 kN, what is
the factor of safety with respect to failure of the cable?
