Answer:
1.429*10^-5 m
Explanation:
From the question, we are given that
Diameter of the cable, d = 3 cm = 0.03 m
Force on the cable, F = 2 kN
Young Modulus, Y = 2*10^11 Pa
Area of the cable = πd²/4 = (3.142 * 0.03²) / 4 = 0.0028 / 4 = 0.0007 m²
The fractional length = Δl/l
Δl/l = F/AY
Δl/l = 2000 / 0.0007 * 2*10^11
Δl/l = 2000 / 1.4*10^8
Δl/l = 1.429*10^-5 m
Therefore, the fractional length is 1.429*10^-5 m long
