Determine the tensile stress in psf that a plate exerts on the ground if it has a cross sectional area of 100 and an axial force of 3,494 pounds pushing against it.
Round to three decimal places.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Tensile stress = 34.94 pound per square unit

Explanation:

Given values:

Cross sectional area of plate = 100

Axial force on plate = 3,494 pounds

Find:

Tensile stress

Computation:

Tensile stress = Force / Cross section Area

Tensile stress = Axial force on plate / Cross sectional area of plate

Tensile stress = 3,494 / 100

Tensile stress = 34.94 pound per square unit
