Direct Stress Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Direct Stress?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

σ = \frac{P axial}{A cs}

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

σ = \frac{2.332N}{1333.4mm²}

Next Step Convert Units

∴

σ = \frac{2.332N}{0.0013m²}

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

σ = \frac{2.332}{0.0013}

Next Step Evaluate

∴

σ = 1748.91255437228Pa

LAST Step Rounding Answer

∴

σ = 1748.9126Pa
