Answer:
81.76 N/mm² ( MPa), 1.71233
Explanation:
Modulus of elasticity = stress / strain
stress = modulus of elastic × strain
strain = ΔL / L = 250.28 mm - 250 mm / 250 mm = 0.00112
Modulus of elasticity E = 73 GPa = 73 × 10³ MPa where 1 MPa = 1 N/mm²
E = 73 × 10³N/mm²
stress =  73 × 10³N/mm²× 0.00112 = 81.76 N/mm² ( MPa)
b) Factor of safety = maximum allowable stress / induced stress = 140 MPa / 81.76 MPa = 1.71233
