SUMMARY
The discussion centers on calculating elongation and diameter change using Poisson's ratio in a tensile load scenario. The user successfully calculated an elongation of 0.7mm but struggled with the diameter change due to missing cross-sectional area data. Key formulas involved include the yield strength and elastic modulus, with a tensile load of 10 kN noted as potentially misleading. The final calculations yielded a cross-sectional area of 24.09 mm² and a diameter change of -0.003 mm.
