A tensile test is performed on a brass specimen 3/8" in diameter
using a gage length of 2". When the load P reaches a value of 4500
lb, the distance between the gage marks has increased by 0.0048".
Assume that the material is loaded within its elastic range.

Two samples are tested to failure in compression. A wood sample
fails at a load of 18,000 lbs. A concrete sample fails at 62,000 lbs.
The wood sample is a square block measuring 1.5" x 1.5" in cross
section. Te concrete sample is a cylinder with a section diameter
of 4",
