Answer

$67Kg$

Work Step by Step

We can find the mass of the climber as follows: $mg=Y(\frac{\Delta L}{L})A$ This can be rearranged as: $m=\frac{Y(\pi r^2)\Delta L}{gL}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $m=\frac{(0.37\times 10^{10}Pa)(54.1\times 10^{-6}m^2)(0.046m)}{(9.8m/s^2)(14m)}$ $m=0.0067\times 10^4Kg$ $m=67Kg$
