Question

A 600-pound tensile load is applied to a test coupon made from 1/16-in flat steel plate. Determine the resulting change in the cross-sectional area of portion AB.

The image depicts a tension test specimen subjected to a tensile load of 600 pounds on each end. The specimen has a reduced section with a width of 0.5 inches and a gage length of 2 inches, which is the distance between points A and B marked on the material. The material sections connected to the tension forces are wider than the reduced section.

**Diagram Explanation:**

- **Forces:** Two arrows represent tensile forces of 600 pounds each, applied in opposite directions at each end of the specimen.
- **Dimensions:** The reduced section is 0.5 inches wide, and the gage length between points A and B is 2 inches.
- **Points A and B:** These points mark the gage length where measurements are typically taken to assess deformation or strain.

This setup is used to measure tensile properties such as stress and strain of the material within the reduced section.
