When a substance boils the molecules within the substance move faster and farther apart, meaning (depending on the current matter state of the substance) molecules will go into more liquid and gaseous states
solid----> liquid ----> gas
In the case of something boiling the substance goes from liquid to gas due to the increased molecular activity because to heat...

A fatigue test was conducted in which the mean stress was 50 MPa (7250 psi) and the stress amplitude was 225 MPa (32,625 psi).

Answer:

275 MPa, -175 MPa

-0.63636

450 MPa

Explanation:

$\sigma_{max}$ = Maximum stress

$\sigma_{min}$ = Minimum stress

$\sigma_m$ = Mean stress = 50 MPa

$\sigma_a$ = Stress amplitude = 225 MPa

Mean stress is given by

$\sigma_m=\frac{\sigma_{max}+\sigma_{min}}{2}\\\Rightarrow \sigma_{max}+\sigma_{min}=2\sigma_m\\\Rightarrow \sigma_{max}+\sigma_{min}=2\times 50\\\Rightarrow \sigma_{max}+\sigma_{min}=100\ MPa\\\Rightarrow \sigma_{max}=100-\sigma_{min}$

Stress amplitude is given by

$\sigma_a=\frac{\sigma_{max}-\sigma_{min}}{2}\\\Rightarrow \sigma_{max}-\sigma_{min}=2\sigma_a\\\Rightarrow \sigma_{max}-\sigma_{min}=2\times 225\\\Rightarrow \sigma_{max}-\sigma_{min}=450\ MPa\\\Rightarrow 100-\sigma_{min}-\sigma_{min}=450\\\Rightarrow -2\sigma_{min}=350\\\Rightarrow \sigma_{min}=-175\ MPa$
