Question

Elasticity in the working of crane used in lifting and moving heavy loads

Answer 1

Elasticity is the property of the body to resist the stress and to return to its original position or size and shape when the distorting influence is removed.

• Therefore the theory of the elasticity is used to develop and help the structures made by man.
• So, one of them is the Crane which is used to lift heavy loads, in the crane they are designed in such a way that the stress due to the maximum load does not exceed the breaking stress.
• In the crane there are a set of several strands which help to lift the heavy loads.
