Question
Material Testing: A steel wire with a cross sectional area of 0.2 m2 is subjected to a tension loading force of 50N, calculate the stress applied to this wire.
Solution
The stress applied to an object is calculated using the formula:
Stress = Force / Area
Given in the problem, we have:
Force (F) = 50N Area (A) = 0.2 m^2
Substituting these values into the formula, we get:
Stress = 50N / 0.2 m^2 = 250 N/m^2
So, the stress applied to the steel wire is 250 N/m^2.
