A steel cable with a radius of 1.5 cm support a chairlift at a ski area.if the maximum stress is not to exceed `10^(8) Nm^(-2)`, what is the maximum load the cable can support?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the maximum load that the steel cable can support, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert the radius from centimeters to meters The radius of the cable is given as 1.5 cm. To convert this to meters: \[ \text{Radius} = 1.5 \, \text{cm} = 1.5 \times 10^{-2} \, \text{m} = 0.015 \, \text{m} \] ...
