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 a) Calculate the proportionality limit, modulus of elasticity, tensile strength, maximum uniform elongation, and contraction-elongation ratio of the metal. b) Since the measured diameter of the metal at break is 12 mm, find the constriction ratio and the actual stress at break.
