Question: By what distance h does the cage shown in the figure move downward when the weight W is placed inside it? Consider only the effects

By what distance h does the cage shown in the figure move downward when the weight W is placed inside it? Consider only the effects of the stretching of the cable, which has axial rigidity EA = 10,700 kN. The pulley at A has diameter dA = 300 mm and the pulley at B has diameter dB = 150 mm. Also, the distance L1 = 4.6 m, the distance L2 = 10.5 m, and the weight W = 22 kN. (Note: When calculating the length of the cable, include the parts of the cable that go around the pulleys at A and B.)
