Which of the following is false regarding factor of safety in the design of structures? a. It considers uncertainties in the material properties. b. A higher factor of safety is preferable in designing safe structures c. It should not be less than 1 to ensure the structure’s safety. d. It considers changes in the loading pattern on the structure.   Consider a 1,000-mm long, 25-mm diameter sample subjected to a tension test. Automatic high-precision gages recorded that for an applied load of 150 kN, the sample experienced a longitudinal strain of 2×10−3mm/mm. Assuming that the material remained elastic while loaded, determine its modulus of elasticity.   A. 175.0 GPa B. 63.7 GPa C. 152.8 GPa D. 72.9 GPa
