Please no hand writing solution 

Many caterpillars construct cocoons from silk, one of the strongest naturally occurring materials known. Each thread is typically
2.0 µm in diameter, and the silk has a Young's modulus of 4.0 × 10° N/m².
Assuming that there is no appreciable space between the
parallel strands, how many strands N would be needed to
make a rope 8.0 m long that would stretch only 1.02 cm when
supporting a pair of 87-kg mountain climbers?
Again assuming that there is no appreciable space between
the parallel strands, what would be the diameter d of
the rope?
N =
d =
strands
