How Do You Calculate Tensile Load from Stress and Strain?

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the tensile load from stress and strain, the relevant equation is stress equals force divided by area. Given an axial strain of 500x10^-6 and a Young's modulus of 200 GN/m², the stress is calculated as 36 MN/m². To find the tensile load, the formula can be rearranged to force equals stress multiplied by area. Dimensional analysis can also be applied to ensure accuracy in calculations.

Question:

A beam is givn with an axial strain of 500x10^-6 and a Young's modulus of 200GNm^-2. work out the magnitude of the tenslie load.

Rlelvnt equations:

σ = YM x Axial strain

My workng:

So far I have worked out the stress of the beam to be:
36000000Nm^2
36MNm^2

But from here I don't know how to get the tensile load. Is there a formula I can use?

Picture of beam attached.

Thnx

Use dimensional analysis
 
The same way you did it in the other thread.


stress=\frac{Force}{Area}

The tensile load is the force in the above formula.
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
