Elastic and plastic behaviour — practice question

The graph illustrates how the extension of a sample of a type of rubber changes as varying loads $F$ are applied and then slowly withdrawn. What is the best estimate of the strain energy in the rubber when a load of $80\,\text{N}$ is applied?

  • A$0.40\,\text{J}$
  • B$0.64\,\text{J}$
  • C$0.88\,\text{J}$
  • D$1.3\,\text{J}$
