When a vertically suspended hoisting cable is long, the weight of the cable itself contributes to the elongation. If a 500 -ft steel cable weight and the percent of the total elongation due to the cable's own weight. The total elongation ( \( \delta_{\text {total) }} \) due to the load and the cable's own weight is in. The percent of the cable elongation \( (p) \) due to the cable's own weight is \%.
