Consider the 1040 carbon steel listed in the textbook's Table 6.1:
A 20mm-diameter bar of this alloy is used as a structural member in an engineering design. The unstressed length of the bar is precisely 1m. The structural load on the bar is 1.2×10^5N in tension.
What will be the length of the bar under this structural load (in meters)?
Values from table:
E [GPa (psi)] = 200(29*10^6)
Y.S [MPa (ksi)] = 600(87)
T.S [MPa (ksi)] = 750(109)
Percent Elongation at failure = 17
