A Levels Physics (9702)•9702/12/O/N/18

Explanation
Stress = force / area at elastic limit
Steps:
- Elastic limit force F = 4.0 kN = 4000 N is the maximum without plastic deformation.
- At elastic limit, stress σ = F / A, so F = σ A with consistent units (A in m², σ in Pa).
- Choices give numerical values for A and σ, but units for σ (e.g., MPa, kPa) and confirmation for A are not specified.
- Without units, cannot compute if any pair satisfies F = 4000 N.
