1. The expression used for computing the modulus of elasticity neglects shearing deformation. Therefore, theoretically, the true modulus of elasticity should be slightly larger than the computed value. Does the data obtained in this experiment agree with this statement?

shearing deformation has to do with change in shape not length, so it should be neglected. As for the data obtained in this experiment, it strongly agree with the statement as all values in the experiment were quite close and were under the target value. Greater than ten percent error.
