For a brass alloy, the stress at which plastic deformation begins is 345 MPa and the modulus of elasticity is 103 GPa. Determine the following:
(a) What is the maximum load that may be applied to a specimen with a cross-sectional area of 130 mm^2 without plastic deformation?
(b) If the original specimen length is 76 mm, what is the maximum length to which it may be stretched without causing plastic deformation?
