    Calculate Tensile Stress of Nylon Fishing Wire for 20N Force

    Im stuck on this one and its driving me a bit mad :confused: Here is what I have so far... Calculate the tensile stress in a nylon fishing wire of diamater 0.36mm which a fish is pulling with a force of 20 N. What I get: Stress = Force / Area Stress = 20 / π*(0.18x10^-3)^2...
