A 73-kg snow skier is being pulled up a 19° slope by a steel (Young's modulus 2.0 x 10¹1 N/m²) cable. The cable has a cross-section area of 8.2 x 105 m². The cable applies a force to the skier, and, in doing so, the cable stretches by 2.6 x 104 m. A frictional force of magnitude 88 N acts on the skis and is directed opposite to the skier's motion. If the skier's acceleration up the slope has a magnitude of 1.4 m/s², what is the original (unstretched) length of the cable? Number Units

A sign (mass 2300 kg) hangs from the end of a vertical steel girder with a cross-sectional area of 0.010 m2. Ignore the mass of the girder itself. The elastic modulus for steel is 2.0×10^11N/m2. The stress is 2.3 x 10^6. What is the strain on the girder? It is not 1.2 x 10^-5. I know its stress is divided by the modulus. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. If the girder is 9.90 m long, how much is it lengthened?
