The d-diagram for a collagen fiber bundle from which a human tendon is composed is shown. If a segment of the Achilles tendon at A has a length of 6.5 in. and an approximate cross-sectional area of 0.229 in², determine its elongation if the foot supports a load of 125 lb, which causes a tension in the tendon of 343.75 lb.
