A standard tension test is used to determine the properties of an experimental plastic. The test specimen is a \(\frac{5}{8}-\mathrm{in} .\)-diameter rod and it is subjected to an 800-lb tensile force. Knowing that an elongation of 0.45 in. and a decrease in diameter of 0.025 in. are observed in a 5-in. gage length, determine the modulus of elasticity, the modulus of rigidity, and Poisson’s ratio for the material.
