A cable used to lift heavy materials like steel i-beams


A cable used to lift heavy materials like steel I-beams must be strong enough to resist breaking even under a load of 2.2 x 106 Newton. For safety, the cable must support twice that load.

(a) Evaluate what cross-sectional area should the cable have if it's to be made of steel?

m2

(b) Evaluate by how much will a 7.0 m length of this cable stretch when subject to the 2.2 x106 N load?

m
