A 1.2 x 10-³-kg house spider is hanging vertically by a thread that has a Young's modulus of 4.4 x 109 N/m² and a radius of 18 x 10¹6 m. Suppose that a 65-kg person is hanging vertically on an aluminum (Young's modulus 6.9 x 1010 N/m²) wire. What is the radius of the wire that would exhibit the same strain as the spider's thread, when the thread is stressed by the full weight of the spider? Number i Units
