A 1.4 x 10-3-kg house spider is hanging vertically by a thread that has a Young's modulus of 4.5 x 10⁹ N/m² and a radius of 17 x 10-6 m. Suppose that a 56-kg person is hanging vertically on an aluminum (Young's modulus 6.9 x 1010 N/m²) wire. What is the radius of the wire that would exhibit the same strain as the spider's thread, when the thread is stressed by the full weight of the spider?

Question

I've tried this problem in a myriad of ways, and keep getting an incorrect answer. Can you help me solve this step by step? I've attached both the problem and the 'hint'

Current Attempt in Progress
A 1.4 x 10-³-kg house spider is hanging vertically by a thread that has a Young's modulus of 4.5 x 10° N/m² and a radius of 17 x 10-6 m.
Suppose that a 56-kg person is hanging vertically on an aluminum (Young's modulus 6.9 x 1010 N/m2) wire. What is the radius of the
wire that would exhibit the same strain as the spider's thread, when the thread is stressed by the full weight of the spider?
