A tightrope walker stands on a wire that is supported by a pole at each end. The tightrope walker creates a tension of 3.42 ✕ 103 N in a wire making an angle 6.2° below the horizontal with each supporting pole. Calculate how much this tension stretches the steel wire (in cm) if it was originally 16 m long and 0.50 cm in diameter.
