Stress and strain — practice question

In stress–strain tests on metal wires, the stress axis is usually labelled in units of $10^8\,\text{Pa}$, while the strain axis is given as a percentage. This is illustrated for one specific wire in the diagram. Determine the Young modulus for the material of the wire.

  • A$6.0 \times 10^7\,\text{Pa}$
  • B$7.5 \times 10^8\,\text{Pa}$
  • C$1.5 \times 10^9\,\text{Pa}$
  • D$6.0 \times 10^9\,\text{Pa}$
