You apply a force of magnitude F⊥ to one end of a wire and another force F⊥ in the opposite direction to the other end of the wire. The cross-sectional area of the wire is 8.00 mm2. You measure the fractional change in the length of the wire, Δl/l0, for several values of F⊥. When you plot your data with Δl/l0 on the vertical axis and F⊥ (in units of N) on the horizontal axis, the data lie close to a line that has slope 8.0×10^−7 N^−1.
