For a brass alloy, the tensile strength is 400 MPa, the yield strength is 315 MPa and the modulus of elasticity is 100 GPa.
(a) What is the maximum load that may applied to the specimen with a cross sectional area of 130 mm2 before it fractures?
(b) For the same cross sectional area, if the original length of the specimen is 75 mm what will be the length of the specimen, when a load of 13000 N is applied in the longitudinal direction?
