Problem 1.4. A tensile test was conducted on a mild steel bar. The following data was obtained from the test : (i) Diameter of the steel bar (ii) Gauge length of the bar (iii) Load at elastic limit (iv) Extension at a load of 150 kN. (v) Maximum load (vi) Total extension (vii) Diameter of the rod at the failure Determine : (a) the Young's modulus, = 3 cm : 20 cm = 250 kN = 0.21 mm = 380 kN = 60 mm - 2.25 cm. (c) the percentage elongation, and (b) the stress at lastic limit, (d) the percentage decrease in area.

Question

Transcribed Image Text:Problem 1.4. A tensile test was conducted on a mild steel bar. The following data was
obtained from the test :
(i) Diameter of the steel bar
(ii) Gauge length of the bar
(iii) Load at elastic limit
(iv) Extension at a load of 150 kN.
(v) Maximum load
(vi) Total extension
(vii) Diameter of the rod at the failure
Determine : (a) the Young's modulus,
= 3 cm
= 20 cm
= 250 kN
= 0.21 mm
= 380 kN
= 60 mm
- 2.25 cm.
(c) the percentage elongation, and
(b) the stress at lastic limit,
(d) the percentage decrease in area.
