Question: A cylindrical rod 500 mm (20.0 in.) long and having a diameter of 12.7 mm (0.50 in.) is to be subjected to a tensile load.

A cylindrical rod 500 mm (20.0 in.) long and having a diameter of 12.7 mm (0.50 in.) is to be subjected to a tensile load. If the rod is to experience neither plastic deformation nor an elongation of more than 1.3 mm (0.05 in.) when the applied load is 29,000 N (6500 lb f), which of the four metals or alloys listed in the following table are possible candidates? Justify your choice(s).

Material Modulus of Elasticity (GPa) Yield Strength (MPa) Tensile Strength (MPa) Aluminum alloy 70 255 420 Brass alloy 100 345 420 Copper 110 210 275 Steel alloy 207 450 550
