not sure about this as I am trying to teach my self, it an NVQ course. NOt good teaching your self something you don't know. Calculate the stress in the material and the magnitude. 10mm = Diameter steel rod ?? = Area of the rod 3.08kN = Tension ?? = Stress ?? = Strain 150mm...

so how do i now find the Magnitude.

I'm having problem knowing how to work out this question, can anyone point me in the correct direction. Question 14mm diameter steel rod carries a load of 3.08kN in tension. calculate the stress.? I ended up with this: Stress = Force/Area. Stress = 3.08/154 = Answer = 0.02N/mm² if...
