A specimen of certain material 4.6 cm in diameter is tested in a tensile testing machine until it breaks. The maximum load applied is 781793 N. Calculate the ultimate tensile strength of the material.
Added by Khan P.
Step 1
We can use the formula for the area of a circle, which is πr². The radius is half the diameter, so in this case it is 4.6 cm / 2 = 2.3 cm. However, we need to convert this to meters for consistency with the load measurement, so the radius is 2.3 cm * 0.01 m/cm = Show more…

A tensile-testing machine is capable of a maximum pull of 125 kN. What is the maximum diameter that test specimens can have to ensure that materials of ultimate tensile strengths up to 1100 N/mm² can be tested to the point of failure?

'A 13 mm-diameter tensile specimen has a 50 mm gage length: The load corresponding to the 0.2 percent offset is 6800 kg and the maximum load is 1800 kg: Fracture occurs at 7300 kg: The diameter after fracture is & mm and the gage length at fracture is 65 mm: calculate the standard properties of the material from the tension test_'
