Solve Prob. 4–88, using beam elements.

Data from Prob. 4-88

For the wire form shown, determine the deflection of point A in the y direction. Assume R/h > 10 and consider the effects of bending and torsion only. The wire is steel with E = 200 GPa, v = 0.29, and has a diameter of 6 mm. Before application of the 250-N force the wire form is in the xz plane where the radius R is 80 mm.
