Answer:
(a) 64000 Pa. (b) 29.7 MPa. (c) 120000 Pa. (d) 46%. (e) 50%
Explanation:
(a) The value of yield strength (Y) is calculated by dividing the maximum load (L) with the area (A). Where the maximum load (L) is 60000 lb and area is 0.5 in^2, thus:
Y = L/A = 32000/0.5 = 64000 Pa
(b) Modulus of Elasticity is calculated by dividing the stress with the elongation. Thus: E = stress/elongation
However, we need to estimate the 0.2% offset. Therefore we have:
elongation = (2.0083 - 2)/2 - 0.2% = 0.00415 - 0.002 = 0.00215
E = 64000/0.00215 = 29.7 MPa
(c) The tensile stress is calculated by dividing the maximum load with the area. Thus:
Tensile stress = maximum load / area = 60000/0.5 = 120000 Pa
(d) The percent elongation = (2.92-2)/2 * 100% = 46%
(e) The percent reduction in area = (0.5 - 0.25)/0.5 * 100% = 50%
