Q.1
A brass alloy is known to have a yield strength of 275 MPa
,a tensile strength of
380 MPa, and an elastic modulus of 103 GPa .A cylindrical
specimen of this alloy 12.7 mm in diameter and 1000 mm long
is stressed in
tension and found to elongate 2 mm .
On the basis of the information given, is it possible to compute
the magnitude of the load that is necessary to produce this change
in length?
If so, calculate the load. If not, explain why
