Sheesh, yeah what was I thinking? Okay, I'm quite positive that I have it figured out.
231*10^6 Pa/7 = 33 000 000 Pa
255 000 N/33 000 000 Pa = .007727 m^2
.00727 m^2/3.14 = .00246 m^2
√.00246 m^2 = .04960 m^2
.04960 m^2*2 = .09921 m^2
.09921 m^2*1000 m = 99.2 m
How does that look?
Wow, yeah I messed that all up pretty good. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. Nonetheless, I was going in the wrong direction with the work I had done.
So looking back at trying to find the diameter of this tie bar, I believe that given I have the value for ultimate tensile stress (231...
Hello,
I'm having an issue trying to solve an equation- the problem is worded as such:
"A tie bar is made of a material having an ultimate tensile strength of 231 mPa, and must carry a load of 255 kN. What is the diameter of the bar if a factor of safety of 7 is required?I know that the...
