A circular solid piece of rock is tested in a compression testing rig to examine its stress/strain behavior. The sample is 6 inches in diameter and 12 inches in length, with the compression load cell imposing a constant load of 10000 lbf equally at both the top and bottom of the rock sample. Assuming a measured reduction in length of 0.02 inches, find the compressive stress and strain of the rock.
