Question 12

A load-bearing alloy cable in an engineering truss has a cross-sectional area of 4.8 × 10-6 m2 and is subjected to a tensile force of 820 N. The resulting strain measured in the cable is 0.13%.

Which value of the Young modulus of the alloy, in Pa\text{Pa}Pa, is correct and expressed to an appropriate number of significant figures?
