It is known that a brass alloy has a yield strength of 275 MPa, a tensile strength of 380 MPa and a modulus of elasticity of 103 GPa. It is determined that a 12.7 mm diameter and 250 mm long cylindrical sample made of this alloy is elongated by 7.6 mm under the tensile stress effect. Based on this information, is it possible to calculate the magnitude of the load required to generate the said elongation? If possible, calculate, if not, explain why.
