The equation obtained from the graph above is y = 0.033x - 43.292 where gradient, m value is
0.033.
Hence, knowing the Calibration factor (CF) is reciprocal value of gradient from the graph of Force
against D; Calibration Factor (CF) can be calculated by:
CF = 1/ m
CF = 1/ 0.033

The equation obtained from the graph above is y = 0.0715x + 88.203 where gradient, m value
is 0.0715 and the cross-sectional area of specimen A is calculated to be Area = 7.5 x 10 -5 m2
Moreover, the Demec Gauge used for Demec reading is Demec No.2 where the K value is
2.481 x 105.

The equation obtained from the graph is y = 0.0146x + 22.58 where the gradient value, m is
derived as 0.0146. The cross-sectional dimension of aluminium bar and brass bar, Aa, Ab, is
calculated to be 8.15 x 10-5m2.
Moreover, for the Young’s Modulus of Aluminium bar, EA the Young’s Modulus of Specimen A and
Specimen B is averaged which in the end is obtained as 46.44 Gpa.
