Hi,
I have a question which consist of a table of results which include. tension and extension. In my question it says ' Use table to draw up a table of stress and strain and plot a graph' My questions is how do i calculate the stress and strain from the extension and tension. I'll show couple results to show this

Tension/10(3)N Extension/10(-3)m
0.0 0.0
35.0 0.1
38.0 0.2

From the results above please could you help me by telling me how to calculate the stress/strain from those results.
Thanks in advance
Jimmer
