This one is confusing me:
-----The yield strength of a material is the largest stress a material can support without permanently elongating (like a slinky stretched too far). A brass wire 2.10m long is to support a 176.00N "Eat At Joe's" sign without permanently elongating. The wire is made of a variety of yellow cold-rolled brass that has a yield strength of 4.75×108Pa. What minimum diameter wire is called for?----
I'm not sure what type of equation I could use to solve this problem...I'm just kinda lost. Any guidance would be awesome. Thanks :)
