The (G-E) diagram obtained in the tensile test performed on a metal sample with a diameter of 16 mm is as follows. The loads at points A, B and C and the elongation measured on l. 16 cm gauge length were determined as follows: B A B C Load (kgf) 4800 8400 7200 Elongation (mm) 0.192 28.8 38.4 c) Calculate the fracture work and the maximum elastic energy the metal rod can store. d) Find the cross-sectional area of a 6 m long rod made of this metal such that it can carry 12 tons of load with 2 times the safety of yield strength. How long does the rod extend under this load?
