A tensile test was performed on a specimen with a circular cross section. The diameter was measured to be 1.000 inch. Two marks were made along the length of the specimen and were measured to be 2.850 inches apart. This distance is defined as the gage length, and all length measurements were made between the two marks. The specimen was loaded to failure. Fracture occurred at a load of 29,000 pounds. The specimen was then reassembled, and the diameter and gage length were measured to be 0.583 inch and 3.141 inches. Determine the elongation as a percentage.

A tensile test was performed on a specimen having a circular cross section with a diameter of 0.500 inch. The gage length (the length over which the elongation is measured) is 1.5 inches. For a load of 15.0 kips, the elongation was 0.00805 inches. If the load is assumed to be within the linear elastic range of the material, determine the modulus of elasticity.
