A tension test is carried out on an Al alloy specimen which has an original diameter of 0.505 in and an original gauge length of
2 in. After fracture, the diameter at the fractured neck is measured to be 0.37 in and the gauge length after fracture is 2.32 in. The maximum load during the test was 37 kN whereas at fracture the load was 34 kN.
a. What is the tensile strength?
b. What are the engineering and true stresses at fracture?
c. What are the engineering and true strain at fracture?
d. What is the ductility of this metal?

Answer:
b. 2.3 kPa.
Explanation:
This situation can be modelled by Bernoulli's Principle, as there are no energy interaction throughout the multisection pipe and current lines exists between both ends. Likewise, this system have no significant change in gravitational potential energy since it is placed horizontally on the ground and is described by the following model:
Where:
,
- Pressures at the beginning and at the end of the current line, measured in kilopascals.
- Water density, measured in kilograms per cubic meter.
,
- Fluid velocity at the beginning and at the end of the current line, measured in meters per second.
Now, the pressure difference between these two points is:
If ,
and
, then:
(1 kPa is equivalent to 1000 Pa)
Hence, the right answer is B.
