Answer:
The percent elongation in the length of the specimen is 42%
Explanation:
Given that:
The gage length of the original test specimen [tex]L_o[/tex] = 50 mm
The final gage length [tex]L_f[/tex] = 71 mm
The area = 206 mm²
maximum load = 162,699 N
To determine the percent elongation in %, we use the formula:
[tex]\%EL = \dfrac{L_f-L_o}{L_o}\times 100[/tex]
[tex]\%EL = \dfrac{71 \ mm-50 \ mm}{50 \ mm}\times 100[/tex]
[tex]\%EL = \dfrac{21 mm}{50 \ mm}\times 100[/tex]
[tex]\%EL = 0.42 \times 100[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{\%EL = 42 \%}[/tex]
The percent elongation in the length of the specimen is 42%
