Chapter 3, Problem 3.7RP
The stress-strain diagram for polyethylene, which is used to sheath coaxial cables, is determined from testing a specimen that has a gage length of 10 in. If a load P on the specimen develops a strain of ε = 0.024 in./in., determine the approximate length of the specimen, measured between the gage points, when the load is removed. Assume the specimen recovers elastically.
