given,
radius of steel cable , R = 1.5cm or 0.015m
maximum stress is not to exceeded 10^8 N/m²
so, maximum stress = 10^8 N/m²

we know, stress = applied force/cross section area.
so, maximum stress = maximum force or load/cross section area

or, maximum load can support the cable = maximum stress × cross sectional area.

cross sectional area = πr² = π(0.015)² m²

so, maximum load can support on the cable = 10^8 × π(0.015)²
= 7.065× 10⁴ N

Answer:

Explanation:

given,

radius of steel cable , R = 1.5cm or 0.015m

maximum stress is not to exceeded 10^8 N/m²

so, maximum stress = 10^8 N/m²

we know, stress = applied force/cross section area.

so, maximum stress = maximum force or load/cross section area

or, maximum load can support the cable = maximum stress × cross sectional area.

cross sectional area = πr² = π(0.015)² m²

so, maximum load can support on the cable = 10^8 × π(0.015)²

= 7.065× 10⁴ N
