Serway & Jewett β€” Static Equilibrium and Elasticity: Problem 48

A steel cable \(3.00 \text{ cm}^2\) in cross-sectional area has a mass of \(2.40 \text{ kg}\) per meter of length. If \(500 \text{ m}\) of the cable is hung over a vertical cliff, how much does the cable stretch under its own weight? Take \(Y_{\text{steel}} = 2.00 \times 10^{11} \text{ N/m}^2\).
