A cylindrical specimen of steel having a diameter of 15.2 mm (0.60 in.) and length of 250 mm (10.0 in.) is deformed elastically in tension with a force of 48,900 N (11,000 lbf). Using the data contained in Table 6.1, determine the following:

(a) The amount by which this specimen will elongate in the direction of the applied stress.


(b) The change in diameter of the specimen. Will the diameter increase or decrease?
