    Mechanical principles - Stess and modulus of elasticity

    Thankyou very much for taking the time in showing me where i am going wrong SteamKing, that definitely makes more sense, I am going to go and do some more examples to make sure its sinked in whilst its still fresh! Thanks again

    Mechanical principles - Stess and modulus of elasticity

    Hi steamking this is where i draw a mental block, i don't know why but I am working on it 1st point putting it like that is it Nm^2? 2nd point do you mean that both ^-2 cancel each other out leaving MNm and GNm? Thanks, I keep telling myself i will get this!

    Mechanical principles - Stess and modulus of elasticity

    Mechanical principles - Stress and modulus of elasticity Homework Statement A 2.2m long steel towing bar of solid circular section diameter of 45mm is expected to carry a maximum load of 210 kN. The safety factor is 4; and for the steel the UTS is 540 MNm-2 and the modulus of elasticity is...
