Expert Solution
Given

Given:

Diameter,d=10.5mm=10.5×10-3mRadius,r=5.25mm=5.25×10-3mYoung's Modulus,Y=8.72×107N/m2Mass,m=58.7kgLength,L=42.2mAcceleration due to gravity,g=9.8m/s2

Young's modulus is a measurement of a material's capacity to resist length changes when subjected to longitudinal tension or compression. Young's modulus, often known as the modulus of elasticity, is equal to the longitudinal stress divided by the strain.
