A steel cable with a radius of 1.5 cm supports 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 suppot ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Maximum load=maximum stress`xx`area of cross-section
`=10^(8)pir^(2)`
`=10^(8)xx(22)/(7)xx(1.5xx10^(-2))^(2)`
`=7.07xx104N`.
