A tensile load of 75,000 lb is applied to a metal bar with a 0.8 in. x 0.8 in. cross-section and a gage length of 2 in. The applied load causes the bar to elastically deform so that the gage length increases to 2.012 in. and the cross section decreases to 0.798 in. x 0.798 in. Calculate the modulus of elasticity and Poisson's ratio for this metal.
