A nylon thread is to be subjected to tension of Q (N). The modulus of elasticity, E of the thread is 3.2 GPa. Determine the required diameter of the thread, if (i) the maximum allowable normal stress is as given in Table 3; the length of the thread must not increase by more than s (%) as given in (ii) Table 3
