A tensile test was performed on a metal specimen having a circular cross section with a diameter of 1 2 inch. The gage length (the length over which the elongation is measured) is 2 inches. For a load 13.5 kips, the elongation was 4.6610 3 inches. If the load is assumed to be within the linear elastic rang: of the material, determine the modulus of elasticity.
