You can download the data file here.Save the data to your computer, open it in a spreadsheet (e.g. Excel), and use the data to answer the following questions

(a) Find the ultimate tensile stress of the material

MPa

(b) Estimate the elastic modulus of the material

GPa

(c) The acrylic doesn't have a clear yield point. Instead, estimate the 0.2% proof stress of the material to give you a measure of where plastic deformation starts.

MPa

(d) Estimate the toughness of the material

MJ/m3

(e) Calculate the force that would be required to break a 20 mm diameter rod of this material
