    What Minimum Diameter Must a Brass Wire Have to Withstand 350 N of Tension?

    I wasn't provided a graph, or a figure for the tensile strength of Brass. If I was to use tensile strength rather than Young's modulus, would the same equation apply?

    What Minimum Diameter Must a Brass Wire Have to Withstand 350 N of Tension?

    Is it even solvable? Or is there something painfully obvious that I'm missing?

    What Minimum Diameter Must a Brass Wire Have to Withstand 350 N of Tension?

    1. The Problem... A brass wire is to withstand a tensile force of 350 N without breaking. What minimum diameter must the wire have? Given Quantity: Young's modulus for brass = 9.0 * 10^10 2. What I Thought I Needed to Solve It... Young's modulus = Tensile strength/Tensile strain...
