What would change if the initial cable length were 20 ft. under the same load if a cable initially 10 ft long is subject to a 13,000# tension load. the load causes an elongation in the cable that ultimately causes it to lengthen 1/16". 1 elongation length would double 2 we don't know the type of material, so we cannot answer the question 3. elongation length would decrease 4. elongation length would be the same
