The wire constraining the tetherball snapped after drunken college senior Petey Paulsen recklessly punched the children's tetherball with too much force.

Petey has asked you for some help in redesigning the tetherball mechanism. He has picked out a strong replacement for the wire, which has a diameter of 0.02cm, and the following stress-strain relationship:

A good solution is not just equations and numeric predictions, but will include commentary and discussion of those equations and predictions and reflections on what those predictions mean. We encourage you to use the simplest model that correctly captures the essential physics.
