A 12.5-mm round structural steel rod is loaded in tension to fracture. The 200-mm gage length of the rod was marked off in 25-mm lengths before loading. After the rod broke, the strain in the 50-mm containing the fracture was found to be 0.45 mm/mm, and the total elongation of the other 150 mm was found to be 37.5 mm. Determine the average strain for the 200-mm gage length.

A 12.5-mm round structural steel
rod is loaded in tension to fracture. The 200-mm gage
length of the rod was marked off in 25-mm lengths
before loading. After the rod broke, the strain in the
50-mm containing the fracture was found to be 0.45
mm/mm, and the total elongation of the other 150 mm
was found to be 37.5 mm. Determine the average
strain for the 200-mm gage length.
