Your task is to design a light‐weight tie of length L with a circular cross‐section of radius R. It must carry an axial force F, without stretching by more than δ. You will need to choose the material (with Young’s modulus E and density ρ) and the corresponding crosssection radius to suit your choice of material, i.e. R is a “free variable”,a) Show that the extension of the tie is given by δ = FL/AE, where A = πR2
