1. A cylindrical specimen of a nickel alloy having an elastic modulus of 207 GPa (30 x 10° psi) and an original diameter of 10.2 mm (0.40 in.) will experience only elastic deformation when a tensile load of 8900 N (2000 lb) is applied. Compute the maximum length of the specimen before deformation if the maximum allowable elongation is 0.25 mm (0.010 in.).
