4. (10 pts) A steel bar 100 mm (4.0 in.) long and having a square cross section 20 mm (0.8 in.) on
an edge is pulled in tension with a load of 89,000 N (20,000 lbf), and experiences an elongation
of 0.10 mm (4.0  10-3 in.). Assuming that the deformation is entirely elastic, calculate the

5. (10 pts) For a bronze alloy, the stress at which plastic deformation begins is 275 MPa (40,000
psi), and the modulus of elasticity is 115 GPa (16.7  106 psi). What is the maximum load that

deformation?

6. (10 pts) For a bronze alloy that is 115 mm in length, what is the maximum length the bronze
alloy can be pulled to before plastic deformation initiates? Note that the stress at which plastic
deformation begins is 275 MPa (40,000 psi) and the modulus of elasticity is 115 GPa (16.7  106
psi).?

7. (20 pts) A specimen of ductile cast iron having a rectangular cross section of dimensions 4.8
mm  15.9 mm (3/16 in.  5/8 in.) and is deformed in tension. Using the load-elongation data
shown in the following table, complete parts (a) through (d). You will need to plot this data as
engineering stress versus engineering strain to complete this problem.
