S.8.2 From Eq. (7.8) Youngs modulus E is equal to the slope of the stress
strain curve.
Then, since stress 5 load/area and strain 5 extension/original length, E 5 slope of the
load-extension curve multiplied by (original length/area of cross section).
From the results given the slope of the load-extension curve C402.6 kN/mm. Then
