Stress and strain — practice question

The Young modulus of a metal can be found from the ratio $\frac{\text{stress}}{\text{strain}}$ while the metal is being stretched elastically. This may be carried out by taking readings as loads are applied to a wire. Which measurements are required in order to calculate the stress and strain in the wire for such an experiment?
