A cable with a diameter of 6 mm is subject to a maximum tensile force of 9 kN. The cable must not extend by more than 0.5% and must not yield. Properties of four materials (W, X, Y and Z) are listed in the table below. Which of materials in the table above are suitable for the cable?

Material Yield strength (MPa) Tensile strength (MPa) Young’s Modulus (GPa)
W 200 450 195
X 320 400 45
Y 640 700 85
Z 760 1,200 205

Problem 1: A round bar with a diameter of 32 mm, and 4012 mm in length was under tensile test to determine the mechanical properties of the material. The following table shows the load versus strain data collected from the testing machine and a strain gauge applied on the bar in the loading direction. The measured percentage elongations were 19.8 % and 14.6 % on gauge lengths of 100 mm and 200 mm respectively. Assume: the elongations include the necking;...
