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:

C
Load (kgf)

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.
