Question: 2 . 8 - 8 A cable with a restrainer at the bottom hangs vertically from its upper end ( see figure ) . The

2.8-8 A cable with a restrainer at the bottom hangs
vertically from its upper end (see figure). The cable has
an effective cross-sectional area A=40mm2 and an
effective modulus of elasticity E=130GPa. A slider
of mass M=35kg drops from a height h=1.0m
onto the restrainer.
If the allowable stress in the cable under an
impact load is 500MPa, what is the minimum per-
missible length L of the cable?
