Answer

$E = 6.8\times 10^9~N/m^2$

Work Step by Step

In part (a), we found that the strain is $~~1.9\times 10^{-3}$ In part (b), we found that the stress is $~~1.3\times 10^7~N/m^2$ We can find Young's modulus $E$: $E = \frac{stress}{strain}$ $E = \frac{1.3\times 10^7~N/m^2}{1.9\times 10^{-3}}$ $E = 6.8\times 10^9~N/m^2$
