Answer:
Radius of the steel cable, r = 1.5 cm = 0.015 m
Maximum allowable stress = 108 N m–2
Maximum stress = Maximum force / Area of cross-section
∴ Maximum force = Maximum stress × Area of cross-section
= 108 × π (0.015)2
= 7.065 × 104 N
Hence, the cable can support the maximum load of 7.065 × 104 N.
