Answer:
stress = 8,556 Psi. or (stress = 59 Mpa)
Explanation:
stress = force / area
force P = 3 tons (convert to lbs. for units consistency)
1 ton = 2240 lbs.
P = 6,720 lbs.
steel bar Diameter D = 1 in. (convert to d
Area of steel bar = (π * 1²) / 4 = 0.785 in²
therefore, stress = 6720 lbs. / 0.785 in²
stress = 8,556 Psi.
in Mpa ----- 8556 Psi * 0.00689476 MPa/Psi = 59 Mpa
