Question: A 2 - ft long cylindrical aluminum bar, with a diameter of 1 inches, is pulled axially and the diameter shrinks by 0 . 0

A 2-ft long cylindrical aluminum bar, with a diameter of 1 inches, is pulled axially and the diameter shrinks by 0.0001 inches. The Poisson's ratio of this Aluminum is 0.32 and the Young's modulus of elasticity is 10 million psi (107 psi). What is approximately the axial load causing this lateral shrinkage, calculated in Kips (one kip is 1,000 pounds).
