Answer:
The stress in the rod is 39.11 psi.
Explanation:
The stress due to a pulling force is obtained dividing the pulling force by the the area of the cross section of the rod. The respective area for a cylinder is:
[tex] A=\pi*D^2/4 [/tex]
Replacing the diameter the area results:
[tex] A= 17.76 in^2 [/tex]
Therefore the the stress results:
[tex] σ = 70/17.76 lb/in^2 = 39.11 lb/in^2= 39.11 psi [/tex]
