A cylindrical rod 500 mm long, having a diameter of 12.7 mm, is to be subjected to a tensile load. If the rod is to experience neither plastic deformation nor an elongation of more than 1.3 mm when the applied load is 29,000 N, which of the four metals or alloys listed below are possible candidates? Justify your choice(s). Material Modulus of Elasticity (GPa ) Yield Strength (MPa) Tensile Strength (MPa) Aluminum alloy 70 225 420 Brass alloy 100 325 420 Copper 110 210 275 Steel alloy 207 450 550
