In your summer internship, you are tasked with measuring the ultimate tensile strength of a material to determine if it meets your company’s (Superior Super Ships Inc) specification. Your boss is worried that the new low-cost supplier, Shoddy Alloys Inc, may not be reliable but it is the only way to source on-time the SS304 needed to make finishings for Jeff Bezos’ new yacht, the Black Pearl. You collect several load versus displacement curves, as illustrated below. The initial diameter of the round gauge section is 0.25 in. You also collect the instantaneous diameter of the specimen during the test using a laser. Using the provided data, calculate what is the ultimate tensile strength measured in this test?
