A tension test was performed on a steel specimen having an original diameter of 0.503 in. and gage length of 2.00 in. The data is listed in the table. Plot the stress–strain diagram and determine approximately the modulus of elasticity, the yield stress, the ultimate stress, and the fracture stress. Use a scale of 1 in. = 20 ksi and 1 in. = 0.05 in./in. Redraw the elastic region, using the same stress scale but a strain scale of 1 in. = 0.001 in./in.

Question
A bar having a length of 5 in. and cross-sectional area of \(0.7 \text { in. }^{2}\) is subjected to an axial force of 8000 lb. If the bar stretches 0.002 in., determine the modulus of elasticity of the material. The material has linear elastic behavior.
Solution
The first step in solving 3 problem number 13 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A bar having a length of 5 in. and cross-sectional area of \(0.7 \text { in. }^{2}\) is subjected to an axial force of 8000 lb. If the bar stretches 0.002 in., determine the modulus of elasticity of the material. The material has linear elastic behavior.
From the textbook chapter Mechanical Properties of Materials you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
