A mild steel, known to have a proportional limit of 34,000 psi, was subjected to a tension test. Stresses and strains were calculated at three points as follows: (stress) 10,000 psi, 25,000 psi, and 40,000 psi; (associated strains) 0.000343, 0.000858, and 0.035 in./in. Calculate the modulus of elasticity, E, and comment on the data.

An important dimensionless parameter concerned with very high-speed flow is the mach number, defined as v/c, where v is the speed of the object such as an airplane or projectile, and c is the speed of sound in the fluid surrounding the object. for a projectile traveling at 1170 mph through air at 50 ˚f and standard atmospheric pressure, what is the value of the mach number?
