Question Details:
A tensile test is to be performed on a piece of plain-carbon steel plate. Suppose its yield stress is
50 ksi and its ultimate tensile stress is 65 ksi. The plate is 16 gauge (i.e. thickness = 0.05082”).
For a flat tensile specimen cut from this plate with a gauge width of 0.75 in, does the tensile test
instrument have sufficient capacity to break tensile bars of this steel if the maximum load it can
apply is 10,000 lbs.? Quantitatively justify your answer.
