A 70N force is applied to the front brake of a bicycle, creating a tension T in the 460mm brake cable. The cable elongates 0.214mm under the force. The normal stress, strain, and modulus of elasticity are calculated for the cable using the force, cable length and cross-sectional area, and elongation. The stress is 65.116 MPa, the strain is 4.652 x 10-4, and the modulus of elasticity is 140 x 103 MPa.

Solution by DF Sozinando Student at the Vaal University of Technology

A force P of 70N is applied by a rider to the front hand brake of a bicycle (P is the resultant of an evenly distributed pressure). As the hand brake pivots at A, a tension T develops in the 460mm long brake cable (Ac=1.075m m 2) which elongates by =0.214m m. Find norm al stress , strain and modulus of elasticity in the brake cable.

P := 70N L := 460mm

Ac := 1.075 mm := 0.214mm

:=
