Answer:
Percent Elongation = 52.72%
Percent Reduction in Area = 64%
Explanation:
First we find percent elongation:
Percent Elongation = {Final Gage Length - Initial Gauge Length/Initial Guage Length} x 100%
Percent Elongation = {(4.20 in - 2.75 in)/2.75 in} x 100%
Percent Elongation = 52.72%
Now, for the percent reduction in area:
Percent Reduction in Area = {Final Cross Sectional Area - Initial Cross Sectional Area|/Initial Cross Sectional Area Length} x 100%
Percent Reduction in Area = {π(0.3 in)² - π(0.5 in)²/π(0.5 in)²} x 100%
Percent Reduction in Area = - 64%
here, negative sign shows a decrease in area.
