Question

One end of uniform wire of length L and of weight W is attached rigidly to a point in the roof and a weight W1 is suspended from its lower end. If s is the area of cross section of the wire, the stress in the wire at a height (3L/4) from its lower end is 

Moderate
Solution

Force = weight suspended + weight of 3L/4 of wire

=W1+3W4 Stress = Force  Area =W1+3W4/s
