Answer:

The minimum diameter to withstand such tensile strength is 22.568 mm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The allow is experimenting an axial load, so that stress formula for cylidrical sample is:


\sigma = (P)/(A_(c))


\sigma = (4\cdot P)/(\pi \cdot D^(2))

Where:


\sigma - Normal stress, measured in kilopascals.


P - Axial load, measured in kilonewtons.


A_(c) - Cross section area, measured in square meters.


D - Diameter, measured in meters.

Given that
\sigma = 75* 10^(3)\,kPa and
P = 30\,kN, diameter is now cleared and computed at last:


D^(2) = (4\cdot P)/(\pi \cdot \sigma)


D = 2\sqrt{(P)/(\pi \cdot \sigma) }


D = 2 \sqrt{(30\,kN)/(\pi \cdot (75* 10^(3)\,kPa)) }


D = 0.0225\,m


D = 22.568\,mm

The minimum diameter to withstand such tensile strength is 22.568 mm.
