Three steel bars have a diameter of 25 mm and carbon contents of 0.2, 0.5, and 0.8%, respectively. The specimens were subjected to tension until rupture. The load versus deformation results were as shown in Table P3.19. If the gauge length is 50 mm, determine the following: a. The tensile stresses and strains for each specimen at each load increment. b. Plot stresses versus strains for all specimens on one graph.
