Find the original cross sectional area and original length from the given information about a tensile test done on a specimen 

directly. Conversion to an engineering stress versus engineering strain is straightforward. One simply
divides the measured loads by the specimen cross-sectional area A to obtain the stress, and
similarly, the displacement is divided by the initial gauge length, L, of the specimen to obtain the
strain. Dimensions for our specimens are shown in Figure 3.2, and all specimens are machined from
a 0.125 inch thick sheet.
All dimensions to within ±0.005 in.
