1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
A 1.25m diameter wrecking ball hangs motionless from a 1.75 cm diameter cable. The wrecking ball is solid and is constructed of steel (density = 7800 kg/m3). If the cable is 16 m long, how much does the cable stretch? For the cable use E = 175 GPa.

2. Relevant equations
δ=(FL/AE)

3. The attempt at a solution

δ=(FL/AE)

F=ρ*v*g
=7800*(4/3)*pi*r^3*9.8
=78171.66 N

A=PI*R*R
=(pi*(1.75*1.75)/4)*10^-4
=2.4*10^-4

E=175000 N-m^2

L=16 m

When I plug in the values I get 29779.68 m which I know cannot be correct.

Thanks for your time
