A 1-cm-diameter steel cable with a yield strength of 480 MPa needs to be replaced to reduce the overall weight of the cable. Which of the following aluminum alloys could be a potential replacement?

(a) 3004-H18 (Sy 5 248 MPa);

(b) 1100-H18 (Sy 5 151 MPa);

(c) 4043-H18 (Sy 5 269 MPa); and

(d) 5182-O (Sy 5 131 MPa).

The density of the steel used in the cable is 7.87 g/cm3, and assume that the density of all the aluminum alloys listed above is 2.7 g/cm3.
