Answer:

Tensile stress = 34.94 pound per square unit

Step-by-step explanation:

Given values:

Cross sectional area of plate = 100

Axial force on plate = 3,494 pounds

Find:

Tensile stress

Computation:

Tensile stress = Force / Cross section Area

Tensile stress = Axial force on plate / Cross sectional area of plate

Tensile stress = 3,494 / 100

Tensile stress = 34.94 pound per square unit
