%a. Use provided data to calculate the stress and corresponding strain
for
%each data pair. diameter = 0.505 in.
stress = load/A; %pounds per square inch
strain = (l-lnot)/lnot;
%b Create an xy plot with strain on the x and stress on the y.
%c. Add a title and appropriate axis labels. d.
%d. Add textbox to mark yield point.
plot(strain,stress,'-ok');title('Stress-strain diagram');
xlabel('strain \epsilon');ylabel('stress \sigma'); text(.01,4E4,'yield
point is at (.05,4x10^4)');
