A stranded steel cable with known cross section and modulus of elasticity supports a 5-ton elevator. As the elevator is descending at a constant velocity, an accident causes the top of the cable, 70 ft above the elevator, to suddenly stop. Required:
Estimate the maximum elongation and maximumtensile stress developed in the cable.

Ariver flows from north to south at 8 km/h. a boat is to cross this river from west to east at a speed of 20 km/h (speed of the boat with respect to the earth/ground). at what angle (in degrees) must the boat be pointed upstream such that it will proceed directly across the river (hint: find the speed of the boat with respect to water/river)? a 288 b. 21.8 c. 326 d. 30.2
