A walkway suspended across a hotel lobby is supported at numerous points along its edges by a vertical cable above each point and a vertical column underneath. The steel cable is 1.27cm in diameter and is 5.75m long before loading. The aluminum column is a hollow cylinder with an inside diameter of 16.14cm, and an unloaded length of 3.25m. When the walkway exerts a loa force of 8500N on one of the support points, through what distance does the point move down?

Answer:

[tex]\triangle I=8.60*10^{-4}m[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Diameter [tex]d=1.27cm[/tex]

Length [tex]l=5.75m[/tex]

Diameter of aluminum column [tex]d_a=16.14cm[/tex]

Length of aluminum column [tex]l_a=3.25m[/tex]

Load Force [tex]F=8500N[/tex]

Generally the equation for Young modulus is mathematically given by

[tex]\gamma=\frac{FL}{A \triangle L}[/tex]

Given the The load force

[tex]F=\frac{Y_aA_a\triangle I}{L_a}+\frac{YA \triangle I}{L}[/tex]

[tex]\triangle I=\frac{F}{\frac{Y_aA_a}{L_a}}+\frac{YA}{L}[/tex]

[tex]\triangle I=\frac{8500N}{ \frac{7*10^{10} \pi (0.1624^2-0.1614^2)}{4*3.15}+ \frac{20*10^10 \pi (0.0127^2)}{4(5.75)}}[/tex]

[tex]\triangle I=8.60*10^{-4}m[/tex]
