AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS) using the formula UTS = Max load/Area, with a specific example showing UTS as 200 Megapascals based on a load of 90,000 N and an area of 0.00045 m². Participants are encouraged to share their calculations and progress on related questions, emphasizing the importance of showing work for clarity. A user named Martin TSK is advised to improve the readability of his submissions by using LaTeX for mathematical expressions instead of posting unclear handwritten images. The community stresses the need for legible contributions to facilitate better feedback and discussion. Clear communication of calculations is essential for effective collaboration in problem-solving.

Homework Statement
Hello guys. Please help me how to attempt this question.
The maximum load in a tensile test on a mild steel specimen is 90 kN. If the test piece is 12 mm in diameter, calculate
a) the UTS
b) the working stress
c) the greatest allowable load on 25 mm in diameter
d) state Hooke's law
(Take factor of safety as 3)
Relevant Equations
Uts = max Load/Area

UTS = Max load/Area
Uts =90000N/0.00045 m²
UTS =200Megga N/m²
 
If 12 mm is the diameter, what is the area?

@Martin TSK -- Please stop posting your handwritten work with dim sideways pictures. They are unreadable; I have processed your latest image above to make it upright and improve the contrast, but it is still very hard to read and comment on your work.

Instead, please look at the "LaTeX Guide" link at the top of the Edit window. Please post your math work in LaTeX so it is legible and easier for us to quote and comment on. Thank you.
