A large crane has a steel lifting cable of dimeter 36mm. The steel used has a Young modulus of 200 GPa. When the crane is used to lift 20kN, the unstretched cable length is 25.0 m. calculate the entension of the cable.

Please explain how you worked it out :)

Thank you all very much and you've really helped me a lot.
