An A36 steel wire of a diameter .0625 in. is strung between ahouse and a utility pole. It is to remain taut during the entireyear with a minimum tension of 10 lb. During the year thetemperature ranges from 100 degrees fahrenheit down to -20 degreesfahrenheit. Assume there is no displacement of the house or thepole, i.e. the wire has a constant length of 30 ft. If the wire isto be installed when the temperature is 65 degrees fahrenheitdetermine:
A. At what tension should the wire be set if it is installed inthe spring when the temperature is 65 degrees fahrenheit?
B. Over the course of the year, what will the maximum stress inthe wire be?

3. An A 36 steel wire of diameter 0.0625 in. is strung between a house and a utility pole. It is to remain taut during the entire year with a minimum tension of 10lb. During the year the temperature ranges from 100∘F down to −20∘F. Assume there is no displacement of the house or the pole, i.e. the wire has a constant length of 30ft. If the wire is to be installed when the temperature is 65∘F determine: A. At what tension should the wire be set if it is installed in the spring when the temperature is 65∘F ? B. Over the course of the year, what will the maximum stress in the wire be?
