A 100 kg object hangs from two steel cables, both with radius 1.2 mm. The first cable is 2.5 m long and 2 mm shorter than the second, but the object is horizontal (so they are now the same length). What is the force on the first cable? Young's Modulus for steel is 2.0 x 1011 N/m2.A :470 NB :500 NC :850 ND :1000 N
