The stress–strain diagram for polyethylene, which is used to sheath coaxial cables, is determined from testing a specimen that has a gauge length of 10 in. If a load P on the specimen develops a strain of ∈ = 0.024 in. / in., determine the approximate length of the specimen, measured between the gauge points, when the load is removed. Assume the specimen recovers elastically.
