A rigid beam AC is supported by three wires that are attached to the beam at the points A, B and C. Given that all three wires are made of steel (E = 30x10^3) and have a diameter of 1.15in., determine the following when the load of P = 10kip is applied to the beam at point B.

a) Maximum stress in the wires.

b) Corresponding displacement at the loading point B.

c) Maximum load P that can be carried if the stress in the wires cannot exceed a stress of 25ksi.
