15% Q.3) You are given a brass alloy with the following tensile data:
E = 9.85x104 MPa. UTS = 500 MPa.
Y = 258 MPa. ν= 0.35
(a) What is the maximum diameter of the cylindrical bar made of this alloy that can carry
2 tons of load without any permanent deformation ? The diameter must be _________ mm.
(b) What is the total elongation under the loading conditions in (a), if the wire length is 6
meters ? The total elongation is _____________ mm.
