Question: For a brass alloy, the stress at which plastic deformation begins is 345 MPa (50,000 psi), and the modulus of elasticity is 103 GPa (15.0

For a brass alloy, the stress at which plastic deformation begins is 345 MPa (50,000 psi), and the modulus of elasticity is 103 GPa (15.0 × 106 psi).

(a) What is the maximum load that can be applied to a specimen with a cross-sectional area of 130 mm2 (0.2 in.2) without plastic deformation?

(b) If the original specimen length is 76 mm (3.0 in.), what is the maximum length to which it can be stretched without causing plastic deformation?
