A cylindrical specimen of aluminum having a diameter of 0.75inches and a length of 8 inches is deformed elastically in tensionwith a force of 11,000 lb. Assume the following properties: Modulusof Elasticity: 10 Mpsi; Yield Strength: 40 kpsi; Tensile Strenght:50 kpsi; Percent Elongation: 17; Poisson's Ratio: .33 Determine thefollowing: (a) The amount by which this specimen will elongate inthe direction of the applied stress (b) The change in diameter ofthe specimen. Will the diameter increase or decrease?
