The “lead” in pencils is a graphite composition with Young’s modulus of approximately 1.0×109 N/m2. Calculate the change in length of the lead in an automatic pencil if you tap it straight into the pencil with a force of 6.8 N. The lead is 0.52 mm in diameter and 80 mm long. Round your answer to 5 decimal places.
