QUIZ: wire bending

 BELOW IS MY ANSWER TO THE QUIZ

Mu is the coefficient of friction static=dynamic

Contacts, prismatic elements, and left end constraint "in plane"

Right end constraint for symmetry and enforced displacment.

SOLVE TIME APPROXIMATELY 100 seconds.

Elements:              142

  Contacts:         1
