A steal cable having a diameter of 16 mm wraps over a drum and is used to lower an eleVator having a
weight of4 KN (-400kg). The elevator is 45 m below the drum and is descending atthe constant raie
‘of 0.6 m/s when the dram suddenly stops. Determine the maximum stress developed in the cable whem
this occurs. Hy, =200 GPa, ¢, = 350 MPa
Given: dy:= 16mm B= 200GPa, Ls dSm
W=4kN oy =350MPa gg
