Area of the copper piece:

$A=l \times b=19.1 \times 10^{-3} \times 15.2 \times 10^{-3}=2.9 \times 10^{-4} m ^{2}$

Tension force applied on the piece of copper, $F=44500 N$

Modulus of elasticity of copper, $\eta=42 \times 10^{9} N / m ^{2}$

Modulus of elasticity, $\eta=\frac{\text { Stress }}{\text { Strain }}=\frac{\frac{F}{A}}{\text { Strain }}$

$\therefore$ Strain $=\frac{F}{A \eta}$

$=\frac{44500}{2.9 \times 10^{-4} \times 42 \times 10^{9}}$

$=3.65 \times 10^{-3}$
