A tensile test was performed on a specimen having a circular cross section with a diameter of 0.625 inch. The gage length (the length over which the elongation is measured) is 2.0 inches. For a load of 10.0 kips, the elongation was 0.00527 inches. If the load is assumed to be within the linear elastic range of the material, determine the modulus of elasticity.

A 3/4 in. x 4 in. plate must resist a service dead load of 25 kips and a service live load of 38 kips in tension. The plate is connected to a gusset with three 1-1/8 in. bolts. Standard sizing is used for the bolt holes. The steel is ASTM A36: Fy = 36 ksi, Fu = 58 ksi. Assume that Ae = An. Using ASD, does the plate have enough strength?
