Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:
Since stress is greater than ultimate strength, the wire will break.
Step-by-step explanation:
The titanium wire is experimenting an axial load. Ultimate strength equals
. The wire shall break if and only if stress is at least equal to ultimate strength. The equation for axial stress (
), measured in pascals, in the wire with circular cross-section is:
(1)
Where:
- Axial force, measured in newtons.
- Cross-section diameter, measured in meters.
Please notice that axial force is the weight of the man hanging from wire.
If we know that
and
, then the axial stress experimented by the titanium wire is:


Since stress is greater than ultimate strength, the wire will break.
Split up each force into horizontal and vertical components.
• 300 N at N30°E :
(300 N) (cos(30°) i + sin(30°) j)
• 400 N at N60°E :
(400 N) (cos(60°) i + sin(60°) j)
• 500 N at N80°E :
(500 N) (cos(80°) i + sin(80°) j)
The resultant force is the sum of these forces,
∑ F = (300 cos(30°) + 400 cos(60°) + 500 cos(80°)) i
… … … + (300 sin(30°) + 400 sin(60°) + 500 sin(80°)) j N
∑ F ≈ (546.632 i + 988.814 j) N
so ∑ F has a magnitude of approximately 1129.85 N and points in the direction of approximately N61.0655°E.
