"Ultimate Tensile strength", is measured as the number of Kilogram of force needed to fracture a 'unit' of Area of the material.

If you choose to use the Units of Kg for the force , and the Unit of Square Cm for the area; then the answer will be in Kilogram per Square Centimetre. You will now realise that it is NOT practical to measure tensile strength of paper because paper is extremely thin and it is not possible to make a piece of paper with an area of 1cmX 1 cm. Paper is usually about one twentieth of a mm thick. However, it you cut a strip of paper exactly 1 cm wide, from a telephone book with the pages clamped very tightly together between 2 strips of wood, and the stack of strips were exactly 1 cm thick; then you would have an area of SOLID paper which would be 1 cm X 1 cm. Now hang weights on it until it breaks apart. The Tension you created on the 1 square cm would be your answer.

Different types and qualities of paper will give very different results. In the same way , different types of steel have very different Tensile Strengths. Talk to an Engineer and he will explain the different between 'Ultimate' tensile strength, and 'Safe Working' tensile strength. Steel is an Elastic substance just like rubber, but it Ultimately stops stretching and breaks when its Ultimate tensile strength is reached.

What is shear strength of T6061?

Depends on what alloy you mean. If you are talking about pure Al (AISI1xxx), it is generally accepted to yield about 7-11Mpa. Another thing to consider is that Al does not have as pronounced yield as say Fe systems. The 0.2% offset stress is used in most calculations regarding Al yield stress and is calculated as follows: L = length of sample ->0.2%*L=0.2% offset strain. Plot this point on stress/strain graph and draw line from this point on the strain axis parallel to the elastic slope of the material until it reaches the data points. This intersection is the 0.2% offset stress point.


If the strength at B is 15 the strength at A is .?

The question seems incomplete as there is no clear relationship provided between the strength at points A and B. In order to determine the strength at point A based on the strength at point B, we would need additional information such as a formula or equation that describes the relationship between the two points. Without this crucial information, it is not possible to provide a definitive answer.


What is a continuous concrete slab?

A continuous concrete slab is a type of structural element that is supported by beams or walls at multiple points along its length, rather than being simply supported at its ends. This design allows for the distribution of loads over a larger area, providing enhanced stability and strength. Continuous slabs are commonly used in floors and roofs of buildings, as they can span longer distances without intermediate supports. Their construction typically involves reinforcing steel bars to improve tensile strength and reduce cracking.

How do you calculate points on the new points plus?

To calculate points on the PointsPlus system, you would need to consider the food's protein, carbohydrates, fat, and fiber content. The formula used to calculate points on PointsPlus takes these nutrients into account to assign a point value to a food item. You can find PointsPlus calculators online or use the Weight Watchers app to easily calculate points for different foods.


What do you mean by bar of uniform strength?

A bar of uniform strength refers to a structural element (such as a beam or column) where the material properties (such as its cross-sectional area or material composition) remain constant along its length. This ensures that the bar can withstand loads and forces evenly distributed across its entire length without any weak points.


How do the electric field lines appear when the field has the same strength at all points in reign?

In a uniform electric field with the same strength at all points, the electric field lines are straight, parallel, and evenly spaced. This indicates that the electric field strength is constant.
