Chapter 17, Problem 17.39P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The formula of tensile strength for given unidirectional fibers should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Tensile strength is defined as the ratio of force per unit area.

  $\begin{array}{l}\text{Tensile}\text{strength}\text{=}\frac{\text{Force}}{\text{Area}}\\ \text{Tensile}\text{strength}\text{=}\frac{\text{F}}{\text{A}}\end{array}$

Where,

F is the force

A is the area

Unit of tensile strength is pascal.
