A student is examining the mechanical properties of a metal. He loads a long, thin wire with a range of weights up to the point at which it breaks, and records the extension of the wire for every load. He then draws a graph of stress against strain. The student repeats the experiment using a wire made of the same metal, but with twice the initial length and half the diameter. Which graph is obtained?
