(6%) Problem 2: Suppose a tightrope walker creates a tension of 3.94

 

(6%) Problem 2: Suppose a tightrope walker creates a tension of 3.94 x 10 N making a small angle below the horizontal from each supporting pole. DA Calculate how much this tension stretches the steel wire if it was originally 18 m long and 0.53 cm in diameter. Assume steel has a Young's modulus of 2.10 x 1011 N/m. Give your answer in cm. AL=
