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 7.5 kips, the elongation was 0.00670 inches. If the load is assumed to be within the linear elastic range of the material, determine the modulus of elasticity.
