Chapter 6, Problem 6.27(choose chapter or problem)
A cylindrical specimen of a brass alloy having a length of 100 mm (4 in.) must elongate only 5 mm (0.2 in.) when a tensile load of 100,000 N (22,500 lbf) is applied. Under these circumstances, what must be the radius of the specimen? Consider this brass alloy to have the stressstrain behavior shown in Figure 6.12.
