Stress and strain — practice question

A metal cylinder can sustain a compressive force of $4.0\,\text{kN}$ without undergoing plastic deformation. The cylinder has a cross-sectional area $A$ and reaches its elastic limit when a stress $\sigma$ acts on it. Determine one possible pair of values for $A$ and $\sigma$.
