Determine a strain in the transverse direction


A bar of high strength aluminum alloy is 150 mm long and has a circular cross section of diameter 40mm. It is subjected to a tensile load of 250kN, which gives a stress well below the material's yield strength. Determine the following: a) stress in the length direction, b) Strain in the length direction, c) strain in the transverse direction, d) length while under load e) diameter while under load.
