Question: 1 . [ 3 0 Pts . ] A 5 0 - foot - long, 1 0 8 0 - lb gin pole used to

1.[30 Pts.] A 50-foot-long, 1080-lb gin pole used to raise sections of a communication tower is suspended by a standard steel cable of \(0.110-\mathrm{in}.^{2}\) cross section with an effective modulus of elasticity of \(15\times 10^{6}\mathrm{psi}\). As the gin pole descends at a constant speed of 50\(\mathrm{ft}/\mathrm{min}\), an accident causes the top of the cable, 100 ft above the gin pole, to stop suddenly. From the impact factor, estimate the maximum elongation and maximum tensile stress developed in the cable. [Note: The gin pole shown in use below right is only for context]
