Answer

The approximate yield strength for the material is $~~300\times 10^6~N/m^2$

Work Step by Step

We can find a general equation for Young's modulus: $stress = E \times strain$ $E = \frac{stress}{strain}$ On the graph, we can see that the graph is not linear anymore when the stress reaches a value of about $300\times 10^6~N/m^2$ This shows that the stress has exceeded the material's yield strength, and the material is starting to become permanently deformed. The approximate yield strength for the material is $~~300\times 10^6~N/m^2$
