Answer: 1.91*10^8 N/m²
Explanation:
Given
Radius of the steel, R = 10 mm = 0.01 m
Length of the steel, L = 80 cm = 0.8 m
Force applied on the steel, F = 60 kN
Stress on the rod, = ?
Area of the rod, A = πr²
A = 3.142 * 0.01²
A = 0.0003142
Stress = Force applied on the steel/Area of the steel
Stress = F/A
Stress = 60*10^3 / 0.0003142
Stress = 1.91*10^8 N/m²
From the calculations above, we can therefore say, the stress on the rod is 1.91*10^8 N/m²
