Question

Cylindrical rod has equal and opposite forces applied perpendicular to its circular ends. The forces are directed away from the rod, stretching the rod. What type of stress is this rod subject to:_________A) The rod is subject to shear stress. B) The rod is subject to tensile stress. C) The rod is subject to compressive stress. D) The rod is subject to bulk stress.

Answer 1

Answer:

B) The rod is subject to tensile stress

Explanation:

Tensile stress is the force induced in the body per unit area in response to externally applied force, which stretches the body.

Tensile stress is attached with tensile forces. It is makes material elongate along the axis of the applied load.

It is given as magnitude (F) of the force that is applied along an elastic rod divided by the cross sectional area (A) of the rod in a direction that is perpendicular to the applied force.

materials such as Doctile have the ability to withstand the load while brittle materials who not have the ability they fail before reaching the ultimate material strength.
