A specimen of a methacrylate plastic is tested in tension at room temperature (see figure), producing the stress-strain data listed in the accompanying table. Plot the stress-strain curve and determine the proportional limit, modulus of elasticity (which is the slope of the initial part of the stress-strain curve), and the yield stress at 0.2% offset. Is the material ductile or brittle?
