SUMMARY
The discussion centers on calculating the change in length using stress, Young's modulus, and initial length without direct force and area units. The formula for change in length is confirmed as change of length = strain x length. The user expresses a need for clarity on the relationship between stress and strain, as well as a desire for comprehensive formulas related to these concepts. References to Young's modulus and stress mechanics are provided for further understanding.
